CVE-2026-53052
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: qcom: qdsp6: topology: check widget type before accessing data
Check widget type before accessing the private data, as this could a
virtual widget which is no associated with a dsp graph, container and
module. Accessing witout check could lead to incorrect memory access.
Summary dbcve.org
In the Linux kernel's ASoC (Audio System on Chip) Qualcomm DSP6 topology driver, code accesses widget private data without first validating the widget type. Virtual widgets lack association with DSP graphs, containers, and modules, so unconditional access can lead to incorrect memory access and potential out-of-bounds read/write conditions.
Mitigation
Apply the kernel patch which adds a widget type validation check before accessing private data structures; this is a code-level fix requiring kernel rebuild. Prior to patching, monitor kernel logs for any audio-related crashes or memory errors.
