## Overview

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

hwmon: (adc128d818) Fix underflows seen when writing limit attributes

DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() after kstrtol() results in an underflow if a large
negative number such as -9223372036854775808 is provided by the user.
Fix it by reordering clamp_val() and DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() operations.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel < 4.19.322`
- `linux_kernel >= 4.20, < 5.4.284`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.5, < 5.10.226`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.11, < 5.15.167`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.110`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.51`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.10.10`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.10.10`
