Overview

CVE-2025-71286 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 6, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

ASoC: SOF: ipc4-topology: Correct the allocation size for bytes controls

The size of the data behind of scontrol->ipc_control_data for bytes

controls is:

[1] sizeof(struct sof_ipc4_control_data) + // kernel only struct

[2] sizeof(struct sof_abi_hdr)) + payload

The max_size specifies the size of [2] and it is coming from topology.

Change the function to take this into account and allocate adequate amount

of memory behind scontrol->ipc_control_data.

With the change we will allocate [1] amount more memory to be able to hold

the full size of data.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
