CVE-2025-68346: ALSA: dice: fix buffer overflow in detect_stream_formats()

Published Dec 24, 2025
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: dice: fix buffer overflow in detectstreamformats()

The function detectstreamformats() reads the streamcount value directly from a FireWire device without validating it. This can lead to out-of-bounds writes when a malicious device provides a streamcount value greater than MAXSTREAMS.

Fix by applying the same validation to both TX and RX stream counts in detectstreamformats().
