Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

hwmon: (adt7470) Fix divide-by-zero TOCTOU crash in fan speed read

If the fan data becomes 0 between the FAN_DATA_VALID() check and the
FAN_PERIOD_TO_RPM() conversion, it will result in a divide-by-zero crash
due to a race with a concurrent update of the cached fan value.

Fix a TOCTOU issue by reading fan data once.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74546 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
