Summary

In the ADIS16550 driver for the Linux kernel, a stack data leak was discovered in the trigger handler. The scan data array declared on the stack is not initialized, and memcpy fills only the first 28 bytes, leaving bytes 28-31 uninitialized, causing data leak to userspace on every trigger.

Risk Assessment

Leak of uninitialized stack data may expose sensitive kernel or process information, posing a threat to the security and data privacy of the organization.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that zero-initializes the stack data structure, eliminating the leak.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: imu: adis16550: fix stack leak in trigger handler adis16550_trigger_handler() declares the scan data array on the stack without initializing it. The memcpy() at the bottom fills only the first 28 bytes (TEMP + 6 channels of GYRO/ACCEL data), and iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp() writes the s64 timestamp at the 8-byte-aligned offset 32. Bytes 28-31 remain uninitialized stack data which leaks to userspace on ever trigger. Fix this all by just zero-initializing the structure on the stack.
