CVE-2026-63934 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: gyro: itg3200: fix i2c read into the wrong stack location itg3200_read_all_channels() takes `__be16 *buf' as a parameter and fills the i2c_msg destination as `(char *)&buf'. Since `buf' is the parameter (a pointer), `&buf' is the address of the local pointer slot on the stack of itg3200_read_all_channels(), not the address of the caller's scan buffer. The (char *) cast hides the type mismatch. i2c_transfer() therefore writes ITG3200_SCAN_ELEMENTS * sizeof(s16) = 8 bytes into the parameter's stack slot, which is discarded when the function returns. The caller's scan buffer in itg3200_trigger_handler() is never written to, so iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp() pushes uninitialised stack contents to userspace via /dev/iio:deviceX every scan -- both a functional bug (no actual gyroscope or temperature data is delivered through the triggered buffer) and an information leak. The non-buffered read_raw() path is unaffected: it goes through itg3200_read_reg_s16() which uses `&out' on a local s16 value, where that is correct. Drop the spurious `&' so the i2c read writes into the caller's buffer.
A vulnerability exists in the ITG3200 gyroscope driver of the Linux kernel, specifically within the I2C reading function. The issue arises because the function 'itg3200_read_all_channels' incorrectly handles the buffer parameter, leading to a functional bug and an information leak. Instead of writing data into the caller's scan buffer, the I2C transfer overwrites a local stack slot, which is then discarded when the function returns. This mistake causes uninitialized data to be sent to userspace via the IIO device interface, while the actual sensor data is not delivered. The problem does not affect the non-buffered data reading method, which operates correctly.
Users can update to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been fixed. The specific commit addressing this issue is available in the Linux kernel stable tree.
