Overview

CVE-2026-97910 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 25, 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: sprd: validate compress buffer sizes against fixed allocations

sprd_platform_compr_open() allocates the stage 0 IRAM buffer (32K data

area) and the stage 1 DDR buffer (2M data area) with fixed sizes, but

sprd_platform_compr_copy() derives all copy lengths from the user

controlled runtime->fragment_size and the write() count, never

comparing them against the physical buffer sizes. The compress core

only checks fragment_size * fragments for an u32 overflow in

snd_compress_check_input(), so a local user can configure a logical

buffer of up to ~4GB via SNDRV_COMPRESS_SET_PARAMS, far exceeding the

fixed allocations.

A fragment_size larger than the 32K IRAM data area makes the stage 0

copy_from_user() overflow past the IRAM allocation, and a buffer_size

larger than the 2M DDR buffer makes the wrapping copy at the end of

sprd_platform_compr_copy() write fully user controlled data past the

buffer. No SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-97910?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-97910 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
