About this tag
The gpio tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) in the context of Windows 10 IoT Core and Linux kernel security. Topics include using GPIO on single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi and DragonBoard 410c for maker projects, such as controlling LEDs with C# and Mono, and interacting with Arduino devices via the Remote-Wiring library. Additionally, the tag addresses a security vulnerability (CVE-2024-44931) in the Linux kernel's GPIO subsystem that could allow speculative reads outside a GPIO descriptor array, potentially affecting Azure Linux. These threads provide practical guidance for developers and hobbyists working with GPIO on Windows IoT and Linux platforms.

    CVE-2024-44931: Linux GPIO Speculative Read Patch and Azure Linux Attestation

    The Linux kernel fix for CVE-2024-44931 patches a small but security-sensitive bug in GPIO handling that could allow userspace to induce speculative reads outside a GPIO descriptor array, and Microsoft’s public advisory names Azure Linux as a product that “includes this open‑source library and...
