Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Access of Uninitialized Pointer (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64602)

CWE-ID: CWE-824 - Access of Uninitialized Pointer

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an uninitialized pointer dereference in the spear_adc_probe() initialization path and interrupt handler in drivers/iio/adc/spear_adc.c when handling a device interrupt before completion initialization. A local user can trigger a spurious interrupt during device probe to cause a denial of service.

The issue can lead to a kernel panic and was observed as a KASAN wild-memory-access caused by complete() operating on an uninitialized completion object.
