Description
CVE-2026-31475 addresses a double free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ASoC sma1307 driver. The issue arises from improper manual freeing of device-managed memory allocated with devm_kzalloc(), which leads to a double free when the device resource management later releases the same memory. This flaw has been fixed by removing the manual kfree() calls and relying on devres to handle cleanup.
