DescriptionNVD

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

iio: gyro: mpu3050: Move iio_device_register() to correct location

iio_device_register() should be at the end of the probe function to prevent race conditions.

Place iio_device_register() at the end of the probe function and place iio_device_unregister() accordingly.

AnalysisAI

Race condition in the Linux kernel MPU3050 gyroscope driver allows local attackers with low privileges to potentially achieve code execution, data corruption, or information disclosure. The vulnerability stems from premature registration of the IIO device before complete initialization in the probe function, creating a window where userspace can interact with incompletely configured hardware. …

RemediationAI

Within 24 hours: Identify systems running Linux kernel versions 5.10.x through 7.0 with MPU3050 gyroscope hardware (primarily embedded/IoT and some laptops). Within 7 days: Apply vendor patches (kernel 5.10.253+, 5.15.203+, 6.1.168+, 6.6.134+, 6.12.81+, 6.18.22+, 6.19.12+, or 7.0+) via standard kernel update mechanisms. …
