Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which systems are exposed to this issue?

Systems using the Linux kernel BMP280 pressure sensor driver are exposed when the driver processes sampling-frequency configuration. The provided data does not identify affected kernel versions or hardware configurations.

2

What action triggers the out-of-bounds access?

The issue is triggered in bmp280_write_sampling_frequency() when it iterates the sampling-frequency lookup table using a flattened element count as though it were the number of table rows. An attacker or local actor would need a way to request a sampling-frequency change through the affected driver interface.

3

How can I tell whether a fix is present?

Check whether your kernel includes the change that converts num_sampling_freq_avail from the flattened integer-element count to the number of sampling-frequency table rows before bmp280_write_sampling_frequency() iterates the table. The supplied stable-kernel references identify commits containing the fix.
