CVE-2026-93039CVE-2026-93039
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: meson: Keep link pointers valid on realloc failure
meson_card_reallocate_links() grows the DAI link and private data
arrays with two consecutive krealloc() calls and updates the owner
pointers only after both calls have succeeded.
A successful krealloc() may move the data: it frees the old block and
returns a new one. When that happens for the link array and the second
krealloc() then fails, card->dai_link still points to the block that
krealloc() already freed, and the error path frees the new block too.
The probe error path then calls meson_card_clean_references(), which
dereferences card->dai_link and kfree()s it again, resulting in a
use-after-free and a double free.
Commit card->dai_link and card->num_links right after the first
krealloc() succeeds, so the pointer always refers to a valid allocation
that meson_card_clean_references() can walk and free. krealloc() with
__GFP_ZERO zero-initializes the adde
