Summary

In the Linux kernel MT6359 ADC driver, the return value of regmap_read() in mt6358_read_imp() is not checked. If the read fails, val_v remains uninitialized and its random stack content is reported as a measurement result.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of kernel stack data leakage and false measurement readings, which could lead to incorrect operational decisions or confidentiality breaches.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version that initializes val_v to zero before calling regmap_read().

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: adc: mt6359: fix unchecked return value in mt6358_read_imp In mt6358_read_imp(), the variable val_v is passed to regmap_read() but the return value is not checked. If the read fails, val_v remains uninitialized and its random stack content is subsequently reported as a measurement result. Initialize val_v to zero to ensure a predictable value is reported in case of bus failure and to prevent potential stack data leakage. This also satisfies static analyzers that might otherwise flag the variable as used uninitialized.
