In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: LPIT: Avoid u32 multiplication overflow
In lpit_update_residency() there is a possibility of overflow
in multiplication, if tsc_khz is large enough (> UINT_MAX/1000).
Change multiplication to mul_u32_u32().
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
:heavy_check_mark: This issue was automatically closed by Mend because the vulnerable library in the specific branch(es) was either marked as ignored or it is no longer part of the Mend inventory.
