CVE-2026-64490
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: virtio: Validate control metadata from the device
virtio-snd control handling trusts the device-provided control type and
value count returned by the device.
That metadata is then used directly to index g_v2a_type_map[] in
virtsnd_kctl_info(), and to size loops and memcpy() operations in
virtsnd_kctl_get() and virtsnd_kctl_put() against fixed-size
virtio_snd_ctl_value and snd_ctl_elem_value arrays.
A buggy or malicious device can therefore trigger out-of-bounds access by
advertising an invalid control type or an oversized value count.
Validate control type and count once in virtsnd_kctl_parse_cfg(), before
querying enumerated items or exposing the control to ALSA.
