This requires local device access, not network or physical proximity.\nAC:L - An attacker can reliably trigger corruption with a simple amixer sequence that switches a channel from one AIF to another without returning to ZERO, which performs list_add_tail on a node still linked on another DAI list. No race or external conditions are required; the commit notes this occurs with sequential amixer commands.\nPR:L - snd_ctl_elem_write has no capability check; access is only via /dev/snd/controlC* permissions (typically root:audio 0660). On WCD934x devices (e.g. Qualcomm phones), an unprivileged local user or process in the audio group can exercise these controls, which is Low privilege, not root.\nUI:N - The attacker opens the ALSA control device and writes mixer values directly; no victim action such as mounting a filesystem or opening a malicious file is required.\nS:U - Impact stays within the host kernel’s authority (local memory corruption / privilege escalation). There is no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-boundary scope change.\nC:H - Double-linking a channel corrupts DAI slim_ch_list pointers so list_for_each_entry can follow into another list_head and container_of it as a wcd934x_slim_ch (list is not at offset 0), yielding type-confused reads of adjacent kernel memory. Per memory-corruption guidance this is High confidentiality impact.\nI:H - Kernel linked-list corruption and type-confused list walks/list_del updates can poison next/prev pointers and produce write-what-where style integrity damage, enabling control-flow hijacking rather than a pure crash. This meets High integrity impact for exploitable memory corruption.\nA:H - Corrupted lists cause infinite list walks (kernel hang) or oopses when DAPM/PCM paths (enable_slim, set_hw_params, get_channel_map) iterate slim_ch_list, which is High availability impact." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "sound/soc/codecs/wcd934x.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "dd9eb19b567303e4b92747dcfb5deedb182af111", "lessThan": "1089dac26c6b4b833323ae6c0ceab29fb30ede72", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "dd9eb19b567303e4b92747dcfb5deedb182af111", "lessThan": "339ffb5b56005582aacc860524d2d208604049d1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "dd9eb19b567303e4b92747dcfb5deedb182af111", "lessThan": "23ba28616d3063bd4c4953598ed5e439ca891101", "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/codecs/wcd934x.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.6", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.6", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.85", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.8", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.16", "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": "5.6", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.85" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.6", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.8" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.6", "versionEndExcluding": "5.16" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1089dac26c6b4b833323ae6c0ceab29fb30ede72" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/339ffb5b56005582aacc860524d2d208604049d1" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/23ba28616d3063bd4c4953598ed5e439ca891101" } ], "title": "ASoC: codecs: wcd934x: handle channel mappping list correctly", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2021-47502", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2024-05-24T19:19:30.436874Z" } } } ], "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2024-06-04T17:14:49.622Z" } }, { "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "shortName": "CVE", "dateUpdated": "2024-08-04T05:39:59.770Z" }, "title": "CVE Program Container", "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1089dac26c6b4b833323ae6c0ceab29fb30ede72", "tags": [ "x_transferred" ] }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/339ffb5b56005582aacc860524d2d208604049d1", "tags": [ "x_transferred" ] }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/23ba28616d3063bd4c4953598ed5e439ca891101", "tags": [ "x_transferred" ] } ] } ] } }
