Subject: [PATCH 2/3] iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: fix stack leak in tagged FIFO buffer
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 15:40:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026040949-ferment-reload-abcd@gregkh> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026040947-overhang-fax-02d0@gregkh>
The tagged FIFO path declares iio_buff on the stack with __aligned(8)
but no initializer, but there is a hole in the structure, which will
then leak to userspace as ST_LSM6DSX_SAMPLE_SIZE bytes (6) will be
copied, but the space between that and the timestamp are not
initialized.
Commit c14edb4d0bdc ("iio:imu:st_lsm6dsx Fix alignment and data leak
issues") moved the untagged FIFO path to a kzalloc'd buffer in hw->scan,
but for the tagged path it only added the alignment qualifier and not
the initializer :(
Fix this by just zero-initializing the structure on the stack.
