Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74641)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 8.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to read and write arbitrary kernel memory or cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in snd_us428ctls_vm_fault() and snd_usx2y_hwdep_pcm_vm_fault() when handling mmap page faults with a user-controlled page offset. A local user can supply a crafted mmap() offset to map a kernel page outside the allocated shared memory region to read and write arbitrary kernel memory or cause a denial of service.

Exploitation requires access to the hwdep node of an attached US-X2Y device, and in the us428 control path the FPGA image must be loaded through the same node first.
