GHSA-6HMF-56G8-P898
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-01-19 12:31 – Updated: 2025-11-03 21:32In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: adc: rockchip_saradc: fix information leak in triggered buffer
The 'data' local struct 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 struct to zero before using it to avoid pushing uninitialized information to userspace.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-09-02 00:01 – Updated: 2022-09-08 00:00A flaw was found in vDPA with VDUSE backend. There are currently no checks in VDUSE kernel driver to ensure the size of the device config space is in line with the features advertised by the VDUSE userspace application. In case of a mismatch, Virtio drivers config read helpers do not initialize the memory indirectly passed to vduse_vdpa_get_config() returning uninitialized memory from the stack. This could cause undefined behavior or data leaks in Virtio drivers.

Mitigation
Explicitly initialize the resource before use. If this is performed through an API function or standard procedure, follow all required steps.
Mitigation
Pay close attention to complex conditionals that affect initialization, since some branches might not perform the initialization.
Mitigation
Avoid race conditions (CWE-362) during initialization routines.
Mitigation
Run or compile the product with settings that generate warnings about uninitialized variables or data.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
