CVE-2024-26927 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: SOF: Add some bounds checking to firmware data Smatch complains about "head->full_size - head->header_size" can underflow. To some extent, we're always going to have to trust the firmware a bit. However, it's easy enough to add a check for negatives, and let's add a upper bounds check as well.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ASoC SOF component has been addressed by adding proper bounds checking to firmware data. The issue arose because the calculation of 'full_size' minus 'header_size' could lead to an underflow. While some trust in firmware is necessary, this vulnerability allowed for negative values to be processed, potentially leading to further issues. The fix introduces checks to prevent negative underflows and to ensure that the values remain within acceptable limits.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been fixed. The specific commit addressing this issue is available in the Linux kernel stable tree.
