CVE-2026-63934

Summary

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

iio: gyro: itg3200: fix i2c read into the wrong stack location

itg3200_read_all_channels() takes __be16 *buf' as a parameter and fills the i2c_msg destination as (char *)&buf'. Since buf' is the parameter (a pointer), &buf' is the address of the local pointer slot on the stack of itg3200_read_all_channels(), not the address of the caller's scan buffer. The (char *) cast hides the type mismatch.

i2c_transfer() therefore writes ITG3200_SCAN_ELEMENTS * sizeof(s16) = 8 bytes into the parameter's stack slot, which is discarded when the function returns. The caller's scan buffer in itg3200_trigger_handler() is never written to, so iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp() pushes uninitialised stack contents to userspace via /dev/iio:deviceX every scan – both a functional bug (no actual gyroscope or temperature data is delivered through the triggered buffer) and an information leak.

The non-buffered read_raw() path is unaffected: it goes through itg3200_read_reg_s16() which uses `&out' on a local s16 value, where that is correct.

Drop the spurious `&' so the i2c read writes into the caller's buffer.
