There is no network, Bluetooth, or USB packet path into this ACPI property parser.\nAC:L - If the codec-dai-name ACPI property is missing or not a string, device_property_read_string() fails without writing codec_dai_name; the ignored return then deterministically stores that uninitialized pointer into the static DAI link. No race or attacker-uncontrollable layout is required.\nPR:N - loongson_asoc_card_probe() runs automatically from ACPI/platform enumeration (PRP0001 compatible loongson,ls-audio-card) on Loongson laptops, embedded boards, and LoongArch VMs; no OS account, capability, or user-namespace privilege is checked on this probe path.\nUI:N - Probe and deferred-probe retries run unattended at boot when the matching ACPI audio-card device is present; no victim must open ALSA nodes, load a module by hand, or plug in extra hardware.\nS:U - The uninitialized DAI-name pointer is consumed inside the host ASoC core (DAI matching and logging) on the same kernel security authority; this is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or sandbox breakout.\nC:H - The garbage pointer is stored as codecs->dai_name and later passed to strcmp() in snd_soc_is_matching_dai() and to %s in the CODEC DAI not-registered log, producing an unbounded kernel-memory read rather than a small bounded leak.\nI:H - The same uninitialized stack pointer is written into static loongson_dai_links[] used for DAI matching; a wild-pointer match binds the wrong codec DAI (type confusion) and later ASoC bring-up operates through that component, an exploitable integrity primitive consistent with uninitialized-pointer scoring.\nA:H - strcmp() or printk %s on the uninitialized pointer oopses or panics the kernel during sound-card probe on affected Loongson ACPI systems, fully denying availability."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["sound/soc/loongson/loongson_card.c"], "versions": [{"version": "ddb538a3004b10a04a14a0d275c5f52a8d161e80", "lessThan": "682c123cef455545f48ecbe74b3872fa303bf58f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "ddb538a3004b10a04a14a0d275c5f52a8d161e80", "lessThan": "4e580d84a638f007b5b68d50d7633de502f325e7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "ddb538a3004b10a04a14a0d275c5f52a8d161e80", "lessThan": "bb1602908c67db7197ab001638573262bccc6ca2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "ddb538a3004b10a04a14a0d275c5f52a8d161e80", "lessThan": "0eb0e3c623ac1da8b85d518043fef7660af7805d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["sound/soc/loongson/loongson_card.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.12", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.12", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.110", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.51", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.110"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.51"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.5"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/682c123cef455545f48ecbe74b3872fa303bf58f"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4e580d84a638f007b5b68d50d7633de502f325e7"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb1602908c67db7197ab001638573262bccc6ca2"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0eb0e3c623ac1da8b85d518043fef7660af7805d"}], "title": "ASoC: loongson: Fix error handling in ACPI property parsing", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
