Summary

In the ST_LSM6DSX IMU driver in the Linux kernel, a stack data leak was found in the tagged FIFO buffer path. The stack-allocated structure is not initialized, causing uninitialized bytes to be copied to userspace.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability allows a local user to read sensitive kernel memory, potentially exposing confidential system information.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit zero-initializing the structure).

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: fix stack leak in tagged FIFO buffer The tagged FIFO path declares iio_buff on the stack with __aligned(8) but no initializer, but there is a hole in the structure, which will then leak to userspace as ST_LSM6DSX_SAMPLE_SIZE bytes (6) will be copied, but the space between that and the timestamp are not initialized. Commit c14edb4d0bdc ("iio:imu:st_lsm6dsx Fix alignment and data leak issues") moved the untagged FIFO path to a kzalloc'd buffer in hw->scan, but for the tagged path it only added the alignment qualifier and not the initializer :( Fix this by just zero-initializing the structure on the stack.
