Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's iio pressure driver for rohm-bm1390 causes the data reading function to ignore cached error values and always return 0, even when a read operation fails. This issue has been fixed by modifying the function to return the cached error value after stopping the measurement, allowing users to detect read failures and avoid using invalid data.
