First published: Sun Jan 19 2025(Updated: )
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: adc: ti-ads1119: fix information leak in triggered buffer The 'scan' local struct is used to push data to user space from a triggered buffer, but it has a hole between the sample (unsigned int) and the timestamp. This hole is never initialized. Initialize the struct to zero before using it to avoid pushing uninitialized information to userspace.
