In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: qcom: q6apm-lpass-dais: Fix NULL pointer dereference if source graph failed If earlier opening of source graph fails (e.g. ADSP rejects due to incorrect audioreach topology), the graph is closed and "daidata->graph[dai->id]" is assigned NULL. Preparing the DAI for sink graph continues though and next call to q6apmlpassdaiprepare() receives daidata->graph[dai->id]=NULL leading to NULL pointer exception: qcom-apm gprsvc:service:2:1: Error (1) Processing 0x01001002 cmd qcom-apm gprsvc:service:2:1: DSP returned error[1001002] 1 q6apm-lpass-dais 30000000.remoteproc:glink-edge:gpr:service@1:bedais: fail to start APM port 78 q6apm-lpass-dais 30000000.remoteproc:glink-edge:gpr:service@1:bedais: ASoC: error at sndsocpcmdaiprepare on TXCODECDMATX3: -22 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000a8 ...
