[PATCH] ASoC: topology: Check PCM and DAI name strings before use
From: Cássio Gabriel
Date: Wed Jun 03 2026 - 23:11:41 EST
Topology objects store several PCM and DAI names in fixed-size UAPI
arrays. Other topology parser paths validate these fields with bounded
strnlen() checks before using them as C strings, but the PCM and DAI
paths still pass some fixed-size arrays directly to strlen(),
devm_kstrdup(), DAI lookup, and diagnostic prints.
A malformed topology blob with a non-NUL-terminated PCM, DAI, or stream
capability name can therefore make the parser read past the end of the
fixed-size field.
Reject unterminated PCM and DAI name fields before consuming them as C
strings.
Fixes: 64527e8a3529 ("ASoC: topology: Add FE DAIs dynamically")
Fixes: acfc7d46cddc ("ASoC: topology: Add FE DAI links dynamically")
Fixes: 0038be9a84dc ("ASoC: topology: Add support for configuring existing BE DAIs")
