Title
ASoC: codec: sma1307: Fix memory corruption in sma1307_setting_loaded()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: codec: sma1307: Fix memory corruption in sma1307_setting_loaded() The sma1307->set.header_size is how many integers are in the header (there are 8 of them) but instead of allocating space of 8 integers we allocate 8 bytes. This leads to memory corruption when we copy data it on the next line: memcpy(sma1307->set.header, data, sma1307->set.header_size * sizeof(int)); Also since we're immediately copying over the memory in ->set.header, there is no need to zero it in the allocator. Use devm_kmalloc_array() to allocate the memory instead.

There is no network or adjacent-network reachability.\nAC:L - The mismatch is unconditional \u2014 `devm_kzalloc(dev, 8)` followed by a 32-byte `memcpy` overflows on every single settings load, with no race, no timing window, and no memory-layout precondition. The attacker can re-trigger it arbitrarily many times via the \"Reset Switch\" control, and the accompanying devres leak provides repeatable heap grooming.\nPR:L - Triggering requires only write access to the sound control device (`root:audio 0660`, plus logind ACL for the active session user; the audio server on Android) \u2014 an ordinary unprivileged local account, with no capability check anywhere along `snd_ctl_elem_write()` \u2192 `sma1307_reset_put()`.\nUI:N - The attacker writes the mixer control directly from their own process; no victim action, no file open, and no administrator step is needed. The probe-time path also fires automatically at boot.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds write corrupts kernel slab memory within the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The `memcpy` reads 32 bytes from a `kzalloc(fw-\u003esize)` buffer that may be as small as 8 bytes, disclosing up to 24 bytes of adjacent kernel heap into `set.header` (readable back through the driver\u0027s binary/register paths). More broadly, an adjacent-slab-object overwrite of SLUB freelist metadata is a well-established route to an arbitrary kernel read primitive.\nI:H - This is a 24-byte heap buffer overflow that writes past the `kmalloc-64` devres object into the neighbouring slab allocation, corrupting whatever kernel object or SLUB freelist pointer sits there. Combined with the repeatable-allocation grooming primitive, this is exploitable for controlled memory corruption and privilege escalation, especially where the firmware file content is attacker-influenceable.\nA:H - Slab corruption of an adjacent object reliably produces oopses/panics (immediate KASAN slab-out-of-bounds report on instrumented kernels), and each \"Reset Switch\" write additionally leaks devres allocations for `header`, `def`, and all `mode_set[]` entries without freeing the previous ones, allowing an unprivileged user to exhaust kernel memory."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
