CVE-2025-37889 — ASoC: ops: Consistently treat platform_max as control value

Affected: Linux

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

ASoC: ops: Consistently treat platform_max as control value

This reverts commit 9bdd10d57a88 ("ASoC: ops: Shift tested values in snd_soc_put_volsw() by +min"), and makes some additional related updates.

There are two ways the platform_max could be interpreted; the maximum register value, or the maximum value the control can be set to. The patch moved from treating the value as a control value to a register one. When the patch was applied it was technically correct as snd_soc_limit_volume() also used the register interpretation. However, even then most of the other usages treated platform_max as a control value, and snd_soc_limit_volume() has since been updated to also do so in commit fb9ad24485087 ("ASoC: ops: add correct range check for limiting volume"). That patch however, missed updating snd_soc_put_volsw() back to the control interpretation, and fixing snd_soc_info_volsw_range(). The control interpretation makes more sense as limiting is typically done from the machine driver, so it is appropriate to use the customer facing representation rather than the internal codec representation. Update all the code to consistently use this interpretation of platform_max.

Finally, also add some comments to the soc_mixer_control struct to hopefully avoid further patches switching between the two approaches.

Michael Randrianantenaina discovered that the Bluetooth driver in the Linux Kernel contained an improper access control vulnerability. A nearby attacker could use this to connect a rougue device and possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-8805)

It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly verify the target namespace when handling upcalls. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2025-2312)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - PowerPC architecture; - x86 architecture; - ACPI drivers; - Clock framework and drivers; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - Media drivers; - MemoryStick subsystem; - Network drivers; - Mellanox network drivers; - NTB driver; - PCI subsystem; - Voltage and Current Regulator drivers; - Remote Processor subsystem; - SCSI subsystem; - QCOM SoC drivers; - Thermal drivers; - BTRFS file system; - Ext4 file system; - JFS file system; - Network file system (NFS) server daemon; - NTFS3 file system; - File systems infrastructure; - Proc file system; - SMB network file system; - IPv6 networking; - RDMA verbs API; - SoC audio core drivers; - Tracing infrastructure; - Watch queue notification mechanism; - 802.1Q VLAN protocol; - Asynchronous Transfer Mo…
