      "value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\niio: adc: ad_sigma_delta: fix clear_pending_event for registerless devices\n\nad_sigma_delta_clear_pending_event() falls through to the status register\nread path for devices with has_registers = false and no rdy_gpiod. For\nsuch devices, ad_sd_read_reg() skips the address byte entirely and clocks\nraw MISO bytes with no address phase — making it byte-for-byte identical\nto reading conversion data. If a pending conversion result is present,\nthis partially consumes it and corrupts the data stream for the subsequent\nad_sd_read_reg() call in ad_sigma_delta_single_conversion().\n\nFurthermore, with num_resetclks = 0 on these devices, data_read_len\nevaluates to 0. If the clocked byte has bit 7 clear, pending_event is set\nand the code attempts memset(data + 2, 0xff, 0 - 1), overflowing to\nSIZE_MAX and corrupting the heap.\n\nFix by returning 0 immediately when neither rdy_gpiod nor has_registers\nis set. This is safe for all current registerless devices: ad7191 and\nad7780 (with powerdown GPIO) are reset between conversions by CS\ndeassertion, so there is no stale result to drain; ad7780 (without\npowerdown GPIO) and max11205 are continuously-converting and cycle ~DRDY\nat the output data rate regardless of whether the previous result was\nread, so the next falling edge fires naturally.\n\nA future registerless device that holds ~DRDY asserted until data is read\nwould be broken by this early return and would require either\nnum_resetclks set or a rdy-gpio.\n\nThe same heap corruption is reachable on any device with rdy_gpiod set\nbut num_resetclks = 0: if the GPIO indicates a pending event, the drain\npath executes memset(data + 2, 0xff, 0 - 1) regardless of has_registers.\nAdd an explicit data_read_len == 0 guard after the pending event check;\nthe stale result is then consumed by the first ad_sd_read_reg() call in\nad_sigma_delta_single_conversion()."
