NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel package and not the kernel package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

netfilter: nft_limit: avoid possible divide error in nft_limit_init

div_u64() divides u64 by u32.

nft_limit_init() wants to divide u64 by u64, use the appropriate math function (div64_u64)
