Summary

In the Linux kernel, the hwmon sht3x driver had unaligned memory accesses when reading 16-bit temperature and humidity values. Using be16_to_cpup() on odd offsets causes alignment faults on strict-alignment architectures (e.g., ARMv5, SPARC), leading to kernel panic.

Risk Assessment

On strict-alignment architectures (ARMv5, SPARC), a kernel panic can occur, resulting in denial of service (DoS).

Recommendation

Apply a Linux kernel patch that uses get_unaligned_be16() and put_unaligned_be16() instead of be16_to_cpup() and cpu_to_be16() to avoid alignment issues.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (sht3x) Fix unaligned accesses Sashiko reports: In sht3x_update_client(), the 16-bit temperature and humidity values are extracted from a stack-allocated byte array using be16_to_cpup(). The pointers passed to this function are calculated as buf and buf + 3. Since the difference between the two pointers is an odd number of bytes, at least one of them is guaranteed to be at an unaligned offset. This will trigger an alignment fault on strict-alignment architectures such as ARMv5 or SPARC, resulting in a kernel panic. Fix the problem by using get_unaligned_be16() instead of be16_to_cpup(), and put_unaligned_be16() instead of cpu_to_be16().
