Subject: CVE-2026-98743: ASoC: codecs: rt1017-sdca-sdw: fix uninitialized stream_config->type
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 17:45:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026101813-CVE-2026-98743-bcbf@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: codecs: rt1017-sdca-sdw: fix uninitialized stream_config->type
stream_config is not initialized before being passed to
sdw_stream_add_slave(). The type field may contain garbage and is
later copied to stream->type by sdw_config_stream().
Zero-initialize stream_config so type defaults to SDW_STREAM_PCM.
While at it, use snd_sdw_params_to_config() helper instead of
open-coding the same logic.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-98743 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
