5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Avoid potential division by zero in function_stat_show()
Check whether denominator expression x * (x - 1) * 1000 mod {2^32, 2^64}
produce zero and skip stddev computation in that case.
For now don't care about rec->counter * rec->counter overflow because
rec->time * rec->time overflow will likely happen earlier.
