CVE-2024-57906 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: adc: ti-ads8688: fix information leak in triggered buffer The 'buffer' local array is used to push data to user space from a triggered buffer, but it does not set values for inactive channels, as it only uses iio_for_each_active_channel() to assign new values. Initialize the array to zero before using it to avoid pushing uninitialized information to userspace.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's IIO ADC TI-ADS8688 driver allows for an information leak through the triggered buffer. The issue arises because the local 'buffer' array, which transmits data to user space, does not initialize values for inactive channels. It only uses active channels to assign new values, leading to the potential exposure of uninitialized data. This vulnerability has been addressed by modifying the driver to zero-initialize the buffer array before use, ensuring that no uninitialized information is sent to userspace.
