Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: dummy: iio_simply_dummy_buffer: fix information leak in triggered buffer The 'data' array is allocated via kmalloc() and it 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. Use kzalloc for the memory allocation to avoid pushing uninitialized information to userspace.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.5 < 5.4.290) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.234) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.177) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.125) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.72) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.10) • linux linux kernel 6.13
