High CVSS 7.8
CVE-2026-72304
NVD analysis in progress
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: SOF: ipc4-control: Fix TOCTOU in sof_ipc4_bytes_put In sof_ipc4_bytes_put(), the copy size is derived from the old data->size in the buffer rather than the incoming new data's size field from ucontrol. If the new data has a different size, the copy uses the wrong length: it may truncate valid data or copy stale bytes. Fix by validating and using the incoming data's sof_abi_hdr.size from ucontrol before copying.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable with local access to the machine, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle.
