CVE-2026-63966
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's adis16550 Industrial Input/Output (IIO) Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) driver. The adis16550_trigger_handler() function fails to fully initialize a stack-allocated data array. This oversight allows uninitialized stack memory to be exposed to userspace, leading to information disclosure with every trigger of the driver.
