Kernel disclosure and panic via unchecked enum index
Published Aug 15, 2026 · Updated Aug 15, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux Tegra210 AHUB driver allows local users to disclose kernel memory or crash systems via an ALSA control write. tegra_ahub_put_value_enum() indexes e->values[item[0]] before verifying that item[0] is smaller than the enum's item count, so a crafted index reads beyond the values array. The Tegra AHUB driver must be loaded and the local user must be able to write its ALSA mixer controls; successful triggering exposes adjacent kernel memory or causes an oops or panic without modifying kernel or device state.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
