Lifecycle Timeline

The UMP Stream responder library in lib/midi2/ump_stream_responder.c builds reply packets in a 16-byte struct midi_ump (uint32_t data[4]). The builders make_endpoint_info() and make_function_block_info() populate only the first two words (res.data[0] and res.data[1]) and, before this fix, declared their result as an uninitialised local (struct midi_ump res;). The remaining two words (res.data[2], res.data[3]) retain stale stack contents.
Endpoint Info and Function Block Info notifications are UMP Stream messages (UMP_MT_UMP_STREAM), which are 4 words long, so the full 16-byte packet - including the two uninitialised words - is transmitted verbatim by cfg->send(). The responder is driven by attacker-supplied UMP Stream Endpoint-Discovery / Function-Block-Discovery requests via ump_stream_respond(). In the in-tree Network MIDI 2.0 server (subsys/net/lib/midi2/netmidi2.c) these requests arrive as UDP datagrams and, with the default no-authentication endpoint, a remote peer can establish a session and trigger the responses; the same library also serves USB MIDI 2.0 hosts.
Each discovery request causes the device to disclose 8 bytes of its own uninitialised stack memory to the peer, and the request is freely repeatable. This is a confidentiality-only information leak (root cause is use of an uninitialised variable, CWE-457/CWE-908); the leaked words could include residual data or pointer values. There is no memory-corruption, integrity, or availability impact.
The fix zero-initialises both result structs (struct midi_ump res = {0};), so the trailing words are cleared before transmission. These are the only two responder builders that left trailing words unset (send_string() already zeroes its buffer), so the leak is fully closed.
AnalysisAI
Zephyr RTOS versions 4.3.0 through 4.4.1 leak 8 bytes of uninitialised kernel stack memory per MIDI 2.0 discovery request through the UMP Stream responder library. Two reply-packet builder functions declare their result struct without zero-initialisation, causing stale stack contents in the trailing two 32-bit words to be transmitted verbatim over the wire. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The Network MIDI 2.0 server feature must be explicitly compiled into the Zephyr image via its Kconfig option - it is not enabled in default builds, which substantially narrows the exposed population. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD CVSS 5.3 Medium (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) is internally consistent with the description: on default-configured Network MIDI 2.0 endpoints no authentication is required, and the impact is strictly confidentiality-limited to 8 bytes of stack memory per request. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to Zephyr 4.4.2 or later, which incorporates commit 255e64bd22fcd02bd437bb0d6badac87c67de23b; the fix is a single-line zero-initialisation change (struct midi_ump res = {0};) in both builder functions, with no known functional side effects. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
