Subject: [PATCH v2] iio: buffer: Ensure bounce buffer used for unaligned case is zeroed.
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 02:22:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803012224.219493-1-jic23@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Jonathan Cameron <jonathan.cameron@oss.qualcomm.com>
iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts_unaligned() leaks uninitialized heap memory
to userspace if the data passed in is not a multiple of 8 bytes and the
timestamp is enabled. Specify __GFP_ZERO for the devm_krealloc()
to ensure any extra space is cleared.
Fixes: 95ec3fdf2b79 ("iio: core: Introduce iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts_unaligned()")
Reported-by: Sashiko <sashiko-bot@kernel.org>
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260529121005.1470-1-kimjinseob88%40gmail.com

Drop the memset in favour of __GFP_ZERO. (Andy)
Thanks to Nuno who pointed out there is a self test to ensure this
behaves as expected.
