AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied promptly. The vulnerability is fixed in Linux kernel versions 5.4.0-1142.152~18.04.1 and later. Users and administrators should update their systems to these or newer kernel versions as provided by their Linux distribution vendors. No additional mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
CVE-2024-50007 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ALSA asihpi driver that could lead to out-of-bounds (OOB) array access. The issue arises because the driver stores values in a static array using an index derived from firmware responses without proper validation. A patch has been released that adds a sanity check to ensure the array index is within bounds, preventing potential memory corruption.
