Background
The ASoC (Audio System on Chip) package is a component of the Linux Kernel that provides support for audio devices integrated into system-on-chip (SoC) platforms. It includes drivers and frameworks for managing audio functionality. One of the drivers in ASoC is cs35l41, which is responsible for handling audio on the cs35l41 chip. This vulnerability affects the cs35l41 driver and specifically relates to an out-of-bounds access in the otp_packed_element_t structure.
Vulnerability Detail
The vulnerability in the cs35l41 driver allows for an out-of-bounds access in the otp_packed_element_t structure. This issue was introduced in version v5.16 of the Linux Kernel and was fixed in version v5.18.3. An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to gain unauthorized access or execute arbitrary code on a system with a vulnerable version of the Linux Kernel. The impact and attack plausibility of this vulnerability have not been proven yet.
