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.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds array access in the Linux kernel's ASoC tas2562 audio driver allows local, low-privileged users to trigger kernel memory corruption by supplying unvalidated volume control values via the ALSA interface. The tas2562_volume_control_put() function accepts arbitrary userspace-supplied integers and uses them as unchecked array indices to look up a fixed-size table, potentially reading out-of-bounds kernel memory and writing that value to the TAS2562 hardware device over I2C. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must have an interactive local session or code execution on a Linux system that physically incorporates a Texas Instruments TAS2562 audio amplifier with the snd-soc-tas2562 kernel module loaded. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, score 7.8) accurately reflects the attack surface: exploitation requires a local interactive account with write access to ALSA mixer controls, which on typical desktop and embedded Linux configurations is granted to users in the audio group or any logged-in user. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A local user on a Linux embedded or mobile system with a TAS2562 amplifier writes a crafted out-of-bounds integer to the ALSA volume control - for example via amixer or a direct ioctl - causing the kernel to index beyond the bounds of the volume lookup table. The kernel reads arbitrary memory at the computed offset and writes it to the TAS2562 device, potentially leaking kernel memory contents or causing a memory corruption condition exploitable for local privilege escalation. … |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to upgrade the Linux kernel to a patched stable release: 6.6.153, 6.12.105, 6.18.46, 7.1.10, or the 7.2 mainline. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
