CVE-2026-31587
Published: April 24, 2026· Updated: Apr 28, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: qcom: q6apm: move component registration to unmanaged version
q6apm component registers dais dynamically from ASoC toplology, which
are allocated using device managed version apis. Allocating both
component and dynamic dais using managed version could lead to incorrect
free ordering, dai will be freed while component still holding references
to it.
Fix this issue by moving component to unmanged version so
that the dai pointers are only freeded after the component is removed.

Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-31587 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.8.
