CVE-2025-40114

Summary

CVE-2025-40114 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel that has been addressed. The issue was found in the 'iio: light' driver, specifically in the 'veml6075_read_int_time_ms' function. The function calculates an index 'veml6075_read_int_time_index' that can exceed the bounds of a 5-element array 'veml6075_it_ms'. This could result in out-of-bounds access, leading to potential read overflows. Coverity Issue CID 1574309 reported this as an overrun-local issue, affecting a 4-byte element array at byte offset 31. Although this vulnerability hardens against potentially broken hardware, it is not necessary to backport the fix.
