Description

iio: adc: rockchip_saradc: fix information leak in triggered buffer

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: adc: rockchip_saradc: fix information leak in triggered buffer

The 'data' local struct is used to push data to user space from a

triggered buffer, but it does not set values for inactive channels, as

it only uses iio_for_each_active_channel() to assign new values.

Initialize the struct to zero before using it to avoid pushing

uninitialized information to userspace.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity none, availability high.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H

  • Attack vector: Local — a local account, shell or session on the host is needed.
  • Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
  • Privileges required: Low — an ordinary user account is enough.
  • User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
  • Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
  • Confidentiality impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
  • Integrity impact: None.
  • Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
