Overview

CVE-2025-68346 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 24, 2025.

Technical description

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

ALSA: dice: fix buffer overflow in detect_stream_formats()

The function detect_stream_formats() reads the stream_count value directly

from a FireWire device without validating it. This can lead to

out-of-bounds writes when a malicious device provides a stream_count value

greater than MAX_STREAMS.

Fix by applying the same validation to both TX and RX stream counts in

detect_stream_formats().
