Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's bmp280 pressure sensor driver. The bmp580_trigger_handler() function fails to initialize a stack-allocated buffer, which can lead to two bytes of uninitialized stack memory being exposed to userspace. This information disclosure vulnerability could allow a local attacker to obtain sensitive information from the kernel stack.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-19 16:06:11 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: pressure: bmp280: fix stack leak in bmp580 trigger handler

bmp580_trigger_handler() declares its scan buffer on the stack without
an initializer and then memcpy()s 3 bytes of 24-bit sensor data into
each 4-byte __le32 field.  The high byte of comp_temp and comp_press is
left uninitialized, and the channel storagebits is 32, so two bytes of
stack are pushed to userspace per scan.

This is a regression from when the buffer lived in the private data, the
move to a stack-local struct dropped the implicit zeroing.
bme280_trigger_handler() was fixed up to handle this bug, but this
driver was not fixed because there was no padding hole, but rather a
short-fill issue.

Fix this all by just zero-initializing the structure on the stack.
