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

hwmon: (adt7470) Fix divide-by-zero TOCTOU crash in fan speed read

If the fan data becomes 0 between the FAN_DATA_VALID() check and the
FAN_PERIOD_TO_RPM() conversion, it will result in a divide-by-zero crash
due to a race with a concurrent update of the cached fan value.

Fix a TOCTOU issue by reading fan data once.
