NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_53_90-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_53_90-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

iio: buffer: Ensure bounce buffer used for unaligned case is zeroed.

iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts_unaligned() leaks uninitialized heap memory to userspace if the data passed in is not a multiple of 8 bytes and the timestamp is enabled. Specify __GFP_ZERO for the devm_krealloc() to ensure any extra space is cleared.
