In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: max17040: propagate register read errors
max17040_get_vcell() and max17040_get_soc() ignore errors returned by
regmap_read(). When an I2C transfer fails, the uninitialized register
value is converted and reported to userspace as a valid voltage or state
of charge. The polling worker can also replace the cached state of charge
with the bogus value and emit a spurious change event.
Propagate read errors through the power supply get_property callback and
keep the last valid cached state of charge when polling fails.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's power supply subsystem, specifically within the max17040 driver. This vulnerability occurs when the max17040_get_vcell() and max17040_get_soc() functions fail to properly handle errors returned by regmap_read() during an I2C transfer. As a result, uninitialized register values are incorrectly interpreted and reported to the user as valid voltage or state of charge. This can lead to the system displaying inaccurate power supply information and potentially triggering misleading change events, impacting the integrity of system monitoring data.
