CVE-2025-70100: A divide-by-zero vulnerability in the ext4_block_set_lb_size function in src/ext4_blockdev.c of the lwext4...
A divide-by-zero vulnerability in the ext4_block_set_lb_size function in src/ext4_blockdev.c of the lwext4 1.0.0 library allows attackers to cause a denial of service by providing a malformed ext4 filesystem image that results in a zero logical block size. The vulnerability is triggered during mount or image processing and leads to a Floating-Point Exception (FPE) under sanitizers or a runtime crash in standard builds due to missing validation of lb_size.
Security readout for executives and security teams
This flaw can crash software that uses lwext4 1.0.0 when it processes a malformed ext4 filesystem image. The business impact is denial of service, not data theft or code execution, based on the provided sources. Risk is highest where untrusted disk images are mounted or inspected automatically. Exposure is likely limited to products, firmware, forensic tools, or services embedding lwext4 1.0.0 and processing ext4 images. The CVSS vector indicates local attack, no privileges, required user interaction, and high availability impact. Treat this as a targeted availability risk. Prioritize systems that automatically process uploaded, removable, or externally supplied disk images. It is below remote-code-execution urgency but should not be ignored in embedded or security tooling environments. Mitigation focus: Identify applications, firmware, or tools that embed lwext4 1.0.0.; Check upstream lwext4 issue and vendor guidance for a fixed release or patch.; Avoid processing ext4 images from untrusted sources until remediation is confirmed..

CWE-369: Exact CWE lookup
Use the exact CWE identifier as the starting point before reviewing related ATT&CK behavior. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.

Divide By Zero
Divide By Zero represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
