It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-71192 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71192/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71192/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-71192","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71192/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-71192","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2025-71192","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-71192","GHSA-629p-5p7m-6c4r","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2025-71192","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2025-71192","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-71192","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-71192"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel ALSA","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A double free vulnerability in the Linux kernel ALSA AC97 driver allows attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nALSA: ac97: fix a double free in snd_ac97_controller_register()\n\nIf ac97_add_adapter() fails, put_device() is the correct way to drop\nthe device reference. kfree() is not required.\nAdd kfree() if idr_alloc() fails and in ac97_adapter_release() to do\nthe cleanup.\n\nFound by code review.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"ALSA: ac97: fix a double free in snd_ac97_controller_register()","id":"CVE-2025-71192","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"phy: qcom-qusb2: Fix NULL pointer dereference on early suspend","id":"CVE-2025-71193"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"dmaengine: at_hdmac: fix device leak on of_dma_xlate()","id":"CVE-2025-71191"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-02-04","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-05","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A double free vulnerability in the Linux kernel ALSA AC97 driver allows attackers to cause denial of service or potentially execute code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71192/"}
