Is your app affected by CVE-2026-72302?
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Cursor or any AI coding tool: it runs a free Shippable scan of your project and fixes what it finds. Built with Lovable, Bolt or v0? Scan your live app. Or upload your package file.
Who is affected
- Linux Linux: 5.18
How to check
- Find out whether you run the affected product and which version, then compare it with the versions above.
How to fix
Copies a prompt for Claude Code, Cursor or Codex that asks it to check whether you run this product.
- Apply the vendor's update or mitigation from the references below. If there is none yet, limit exposure of the affected service until there is.
- If a vulnerable version was live, check your logs and rotate the secrets that server could read.
The advisory
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: ipc3-control: Use overflow checks in control_update size calc
In sof_ipc3_control_update(), the expected_size calculation uses
firmware-provided cdata->num_elems in arithmetic that could overflow
on 32-bit platforms, wrapping to a small value. This would allow the
cdata->rhdr.hdr.size comparison to pass with mismatched sizes,
potentially leading to out-of-bounds access in snd_sof_update_control.
Use check_mul_overflow() and check_add_overflow() to detect and reject
overflowed size calculations.
Check your whole app
Dependencies are only half of it. Free and read-only: before you push, run npx shippable-dev scan localhost:3000 in your project folder, no account needed. For your live app, you prove it's yours with a one-line tag first.
