Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2022-49518
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
An out-of-bounds read issue exists in the `sof get control data()` function within the `sound/soc/sof/ipc3-topology.c` module of the Linux kernel SoC sound support. The issue occurs because the function expects the payload to be of bytes type, but it also handles other control types using a payload parsing implementation that is only valid for bytes. A malicious actor could craft a topology to trigger this out-of-bounds access, potentially leading to a denial of service or unauthorized access to protected information.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
