## Overview

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

usb-storage: alauda: Check whether the media is initialized

The member "uzonesize" of struct alauda_info will remain 0
if alauda_init_media() fails, potentially causing divide errors
in alauda_read_data() and alauda_write_lba().
- Add a member "media_initialized" to struct alauda_info.
- Change a condition in alauda_check_media() to ensure the
  first initialization.
- Add an error check for the return value of alauda_init_media().

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 2.6.16, < 4.19.317`
- `linux_kernel >= 4.20, < 5.4.279`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.5, < 5.10.221`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.11, < 5.15.162`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.95`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.35`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.9.6`
- `linux_kernel = 6.10`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.9.6`
