{"id":"CVE-2024-56657","summary":"ALSA: control: Avoid WARN() for symlink errors","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nALSA: control: Avoid WARN() for symlink errors\n\nUsing WARN() for showing the error of symlink creations don't give\nmore information than telling that something goes wrong, since the\nusual code path is a lregister callback from each control element\ncreation.  More badly, the use of WARN() rather confuses fuzzer as if\nit were serious issues.\n\nThis patch downgrades the warning messages to use the normal dev_err()\ninstead of WARN().  For making it clearer, add the function name to\nthe prefix, too.","modified":"2026-04-02T12:25:03.606422Z","published":"2024-12-27T15:06:20.854Z","related":["MGASA-2025-0030","MGASA-2025-0032","USN-7379-2","USN-7380-1"],"database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/56xxx/CVE-2024-56657.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/36c0764474b637bbee498806485bed524cad486b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b2e538a9827dd04ab5273bf4be8eb2edb84357b0"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d5a1ca7b59804d6779644001a878ed925a4688ca"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/56xxx/CVE-2024-56657.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-56657"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"a135dfb5de1501327895729b4f513370d2555b4d"},{"fixed":"d5a1ca7b59804d6779644001a878ed925a4688ca"},{"fixed":"36c0764474b637bbee498806485bed524cad486b"},{"fixed":"b2e538a9827dd04ab5273bf4be8eb2edb84357b0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-56657.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
