Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Linux Kernel up to 6.0.11. This affects the function snd_soc_put_volsw_sx of the component ASoC. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: ops: Fix bounds check for _sx controls For _sx controls the semantics of the max field is not the usual one, max is the number of steps rather than the maximum value. This means that our check in snd_soc_put_volsw_sx() needs to just check against the maximum value.
