In\nlayout.c, the function does not check the return value before\ndereferencing ctl->id.name or passing to aoa_snd_ctl_add(), which can\nlead to a NULL pointer dereference.\n\nAdd NULL checks after snd_ctl_new1() calls and return early if any\nfails.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2ee9c46fd2dcd529cef18e37636ee12f5c3dbedd","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8df560fefe6fed6a20b7e06720eeaeccec349ac0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b0154ebc6dc552c389a574b1e221d728e10346e7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d62624fe256b2d0d13454c78cbfc70ff5d954dc7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d73067e2bbf3775a495d9f38e38d0a3cf53ee790"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:46:40.600842820+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64488","score":0.00184,"percentile":0.08053,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
