What to do
AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to zero-initialize the affected struct before use, eliminating the information leak. Users should update their Linux kernel to a version that includes this patch once available. Since this is a local vulnerability, restricting local access can reduce risk until patched.
Description
CVE-2024-57912 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's iio pressure sensor driver (zpa2326) where an uninitialized memory hole in a local struct causes an information leak when data is pushed to user space from a triggered buffer. The flaw arises because a gap between temperature and timestamp fields in the struct is not zeroed before use, potentially exposing sensitive kernel memory contents. This issue has been fixed by initializing the struct to zero prior to usage.
