In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: fix iio_chan_spec for sensors without event detection The st_lsm6dsx_acc_channels array of struct iio_chan_spec has a non-NULL event_spec field, indicating support for IIO events. However, event detection is not supported for all sensors, and if userspace tries to configure accelerometer wakeup events on a sensor device that does not support them (e.g. LSM6DS0), st_lsm6dsx_write_event() dereferences a NULL pointer when trying to write to the wakeup register. Define an additional struct iio_chan_spec array whose members have a NULL event_spec field, and use this array instead of st_lsm6dsx_acc_channels for sensors without event detection capability.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that     may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information     leaks.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 6.12.69-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.

    For the detailed security status of linux please refer to its security     tracker page at:

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: fix iio_chan_spec for sensors without event detection The st_lsm6dsx_acc_channels     array of struct iio_chan_spec has a non-NULL event_spec field, indicating support for IIO events. However,     event detection is not supported for all sensors, and if userspace tries to configure accelerometer wakeup     events on a sensor device that does not support them (e.g. LSM6DS0), st_lsm6dsx_write_event() dereferences     a NULL pointer when trying to write to the wakeup register. Define an additional struct iio_chan_spec     array whose members have a NULL event_spec field, and use this array instead of st_lsm6dsx_acc_channels     for sensors without event detection capability. (CVE-2025-71198)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
