Detailed vulnerability description
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.
