      <title>CVE-2025-38478 — comedi: Fix initialization of data for instructions that write to subdevice</title>
      <link>https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/cve-2025-38478</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;comedi: Fix initialization of data for instructions that write to subdevice&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some Comedi subdevice instruction handlers are known to access
instruction data elements beyond the first `insn-&amp;gt;n` elements in some
cases.  The `do_insn_ioctl()` and `do_insnlist_ioctl()` functions
allocate at least `MIN_SAMPLES` (16) data elements to deal with this,
but they do not initialize all of that.  For Comedi instruction codes
that write to the subdevice, the first `insn-&amp;gt;n` data elements are
copied from user-space, but the remaining elements are left
uninitialized.  That could be a problem if the subdevice instruction
handler reads the uninitialized data.  Ensure that the first
`MIN_SAMPLES` elements are initialized before calling these instruction
handlers, filling the uncopied elements with 0.  For
`do_insnlist_ioctl()`, the same data buffer elements are used for
handling a list of instructions, so ensure the first `MIN_SAMPLES`
elements are initialized for each instruction that writes to the
subdevice.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
