Summary

In the Linux kernel BMP280 driver, a stack leak was found in the BMP580 trigger handler. The scan buffer declared on the stack without initialization causes two uninitialized bytes to be pushed to userspace per scan.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential leakage of sensitive kernel stack data to userspace, which could allow a local attacker to read confidential system information.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that zero-initializes the stack buffer structure.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: pressure: bmp280: fix stack leak in bmp580 trigger handler bmp580_trigger_handler() declares its scan buffer on the stack without an initializer and then memcpy()s 3 bytes of 24-bit sensor data into each 4-byte __le32 field. The high byte of comp_temp and comp_press is left uninitialized, and the channel storagebits is 32, so two bytes of stack are pushed to userspace per scan. This is a regression from when the buffer lived in the private data, the move to a stack-local struct dropped the implicit zeroing. bme280_trigger_handler() was fixed up to handle this bug, but this driver was not fixed because there was no padding hole, but rather a short-fill issue. Fix this all by just zero-initializing the structure on the stack.
