In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: SOF: ipc3-control: Validate size in snd_sof_update_control In snd_sof_update_control(), firmware-provided cdata->num_elems is checked against local_cdata->data->size but never against the actual allocation size. If local_cdata->data->size was previously set to an inconsistent value, the memcpy could write past the allocated buffer. Add a bounds check to ensure num_elems fits within the available space in the ipc_control_data allocation before copying.

The Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CIQ crlsa-2026_71232 advisory.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - ASoC: SOF: ipc3-control: Validate size in snd_sof_update_control In snd_sof_update_control(), firmware-     provided cdata->num_elems is checked against local_cdata->data->size but never against the actual     allocation size. If local_cdata->data->size was previously set to an inconsistent value, the memcpy could     write past the allocated buffer. Add a bounds check to ensure num_elems fits within the available space in     the ipc_control_data allocation before copying. (CVE-2026-72261)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

An update of the linux package has been released.
