Subject: [PATCH] mfd: ipaq-micro: Fix out-of-bounds stack read in ipaq_micro_str
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 16:03:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aintJF4X5tWDW-Ej@google.com> (raw)
ipaq_micro_str() decodes a UTF-16LE string into an ASCII string.
It copies characters to a stack buffer retstr, but fails to
null-terminate it. When kstrdup() is called on retstr, it can read past
the buffer into uninitialized stack memory, potentially leaking stack
contents.
Fix this by initializing retstr to zero.
