Input Mapping Vulnerability in Intel ASoC Driver for Linux Kernel

CVE-2025-40154

What is CVE-2025-40154?

A vulnerability in the Intel ASoC driver within the Linux kernel allows for potential out-of-bounds access when invalid values are provided through quirk options. The current handling only generates an error message, failing to remediate the processing flow effectively. This may lead to unexpected behaviors in the system. The recently applied patch rectifies this by ensuring that any invalid input is set to a designated default value, thereby securing the system's integrity.
