What is CVE-2025-38662?
CVE-2025-38662 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 22 Aug 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mediatek: mt8365-dai-i2s: pass correct size to mt8365_dai_set_priv
Given mt8365_dai_set_priv allocate priv_size space to copy priv_data which means we should pass mt8365_i2s_priv[i] or "struct mtk_afe_i2s_priv" instead of afe_priv which has the size of "struct mt8365_afe_private".
Otherwise the KASAN complains about.
