How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 linux-6.1 to version 6.1.128-1~deb11u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-6.1 package and not the linux-6.1 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

iio: pressure: zpa2326: fix information leak in triggered buffer

The 'sample' local struct is used to push data to user space from a triggered buffer, but it has a hole between the temperature and the timestamp (u32 pressure, u16 temperature, GAP, u64 timestamp). This hole is never initialized.

Initialize the struct to zero before using it to avoid pushing uninitialized information to userspace.
