DescriptionCVE.org

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: tegra: tegra210_ahub: Validate written enum value

tegra_ahub_put_value_enum() reads e->values[item[0]] before checking whether item[0] is within the enum item range. The existing check therefore happens too late to prevent an out-of-range read of the values array.

Move the check before the array access.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds array read in the Linux kernel's ASoC Tegra audio driver (tegra210_ahub) allows a local attacker with low privileges to disclose kernel memory contents or trigger a kernel panic on NVIDIA Tegra 210-based systems. The flaw in tegra_ahub_put_value_enum() accesses e->values[item[0]] before validating that item[0] falls within the valid enum range, making the existing bounds check ineffective. …

Persist
Read kernel memory beyond values array
Impact
Achieve information disclosure or kernel panic

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires local shell access on a Linux system equipped with an NVIDIA Tegra 210 SoC and the tegra210_ahub kernel module actively loaded. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.1 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H) correctly reflects a locally exploitable flaw requiring only low-privilege access, with no user interaction, and carrying high confidentiality and availability impacts. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A local attacker with a standard unprivileged account on a Tegra 210-based Linux device - such as a development board or embedded media system - writes a crafted out-of-range integer to the tegra_ahub ALSA enum control interface. The kernel's tegra_ahub_put_value_enum() reads e->values[item[0]] prior to validating the index, causing an out-of-bounds kernel memory read; depending on the memory layout, this either leaks kernel address-space contents useful for bypassing KASLR in a chained attack, or causes a kernel panic resulting in denial of service. …
Remediation The primary remediation is upgrading the Linux kernel to a patched stable release: 5.10.261, 5.15.212, 6.1.178, 6.6.145, 6.12.97, 6.18.40, or 7.1.5 (or 7.2-rc1 for development kernels). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all deployed systems running Tegra 210 with vulnerable kernel versions and assess which are critical or exposed to untrusted local users. …
