Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
gpiolib: cdev: fix uninitialised kfifo<br />
<br />
If a line is requested with debounce, and that results in debouncing<br />
in software, and the line is subsequently reconfigured to enable edge<br />
detection then the allocation of the kfifo to contain edge events is<br />
overlooked. This results in events being written to and read from an<br />
uninitialised kfifo. Read events are returned to userspace.<br />
<br />
Initialise the kfifo in the case where the software debounce is<br />
already active.
