Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use of Uninitialized Variable (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-63967)

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 uninitialized memory in the tagged FIFO buffer handling in st_lsm6dsx_buffer.c when copying FIFO sample data to userspace. A local user can read exposed uninitialized stack data to disclose sensitive information.

The issue affects the tagged FIFO path because a hole in the aligned stack structure is copied together with sample data and timestamp fields.
