CVE-2025-39786 | iio: adc: ad7173: fix channels index for syscalib_mode

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: adc: ad7173: fix channels index for syscalib_mode Fix the index used to look up the channel when accessing the syscalib_mode attribute. The address field is a 0-based index (same as scan_index) that it used to access the channel in the ad7173_channels array throughout the driver. The channels field, on the other hand, may not match the address field depending on the channel configuration specified in the device tree and could result in an out-of-bounds access.

7.1 3.1 HIGH
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:L)
They already need access on the box, or another person has to do something wrong; it’s not a remote drive-by.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
