CVE-2025-37934 | ASoC: simple-card-utils: Fix pointer check in graph_util_parse_link_direction

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: simple-card-utils: Fix pointer check in graph_util_parse_link_direction Actually check if the passed pointers are valid, before writing to them. This also fixes a USBAN warning: UBSAN: invalid-load in ../sound/soc/fsl/imx-card.c:687:25 load of value 255 is not a valid value for type '_Bool' This is because playback_only is uninitialized and is not written to, as the playback-only property is absent.

CVSS metrics for this CVE.

Base score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Impact Score source
7.8 3.1 HIGH
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:L)
They already need access on the box, or another person has to do something wrong; it’s not a remote drive-by.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
