Subject: [PATCH net v4] net: ipv4: add zero check for snd_cwnd_clamp
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 17:48:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261017214845.28769-2-kj2864@nyu.edu> (raw)
User can pass zero to snd_cwnd_clamp via RTAX_CWND type.
This could lead to division of zero error if not checked properly.
Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI

Fix by checking if user pass in zero as parameter,
if so reject the value zero.
