Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use of Uninitialized Variable (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64083)

CWE-ID: CWE-457 - Use of Uninitialized Variable

CVSSv4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an uninitialized stack memory exposure in the adm1266 GPIO accessors when processing short block-read responses from the device. A local user can trigger a short block-read response to disclose sensitive information.

The leaked bits can reach userspace through gpiolib interfaces including sysfs and character-device ioctls.
