Incorrect sensor readings via sign-extension error
Published Jul 25, 2026 · Updated Jul 25, 2026
Incorrect numeric conversion in the Linux Kernel SCD30 driver allows corrupted CO2, temperature, and humidity sensor readings. In scd30_float_to_fp(), (float32 & ~BIT(31)) retains promoted upper mask bits before shifting, corrupting the extracted exponent instead of isolating bits 30 through 23. The defect requires a build with 64-bit unsigned long and an attached SCD30 sensor; the bounded consequence is inaccurate environmental measurements.
