What to do
AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel by adding the missing COMP_EMPTY() platform entry for the ETDM1_OUT_BE dai link, correcting the platforms array size assumptions. Users should update to the fixed kernel version containing this patch. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data; therefore, check the official Linux kernel advisories or vendor updates for the exact fixed versions and apply the official fix promptly.
Description
A high-severity vulnerability (CVE-2024-42088) in the Linux kernel's ASoC mediatek mt8195 driver was resolved by adding a missing COMP_EMPTY() platform entry for the ETDM1_OUT_BE dai link. The absence of this entry caused an out-of-bounds access warning in the kernel's soundcard probe function due to assumptions about the platforms array size. This vulnerability relates to improper array bounds handling (CWE-129) and can lead to kernel memory corruption.
