CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's ASoC subsystem, specifically the tas2562 volume control function, which lacks proper validation of user-supplied volume values. This oversight can lead to an array overflow, potentially allowing an attacker to write arbitrary values to the device, resulting in unexpected behavior or denial of service. Organizations using affected Linux systems, particularly those relying on audio devices managed by the tas2562 driver, should prioritize patching to mitigate potential exploitation risks.

Original NVD Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: tas2562: Validate values for volume writes tas2562_volume_control_put() does not do any validation of the control value written by userspace, it uses it to look up a value in a fixed size array which can easily be overflowed and then writes whatever value it gets back to the device. Add validation that we are loading a value we have in the array.
