Summary

In the Linux kernel's ASoC SOF (ipc4-pcm) module, a workaround addresses crashed firmware during system suspend. If firmware crashes while audio is active, pipeline state changes fail with IPC errors, causing kernel/firmware state misalignment and audio resume failures.

Risk Assessment

May result in broken audio after resuming from suspend on devices using SOF audio, causing loss of multimedia functionality.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the workaround that ignores errors on forced pipeline reset to keep kernel and firmware states consistent.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: SOF: ipc4-pcm: Workaround for crashed firmware on system suspend When the system is suspended while audio is active, the sof_ipc4_pcm_hw_free() is invoked to reset the pipelines since during suspend the DSP is turned off, streams will be re-started after resume. If the firmware crashes during while audio is running (or when we reset the stream before suspend) then the sof_ipc4_set_multi_pipeline_state() will fail with IPC error and the state change is interrupted. This will cause misalignment between the kernel and firmware state on next DSP boot resulting errors returned by firmware for IPC messages, eventually failing the audio resume. On stream close the errors are ignored so the kernel state will be corrected on the next DSP boot, so the second boot after the DSP panic. If sof_ipc4_trigger_pipelines() is called from sof_ipc4_pcm_hw_free() then state parameter is SOF_IPC4_PIPE_RESET and only in this case. Treat a forced pipeline reset similarly to how we treat a pcm_free by ignoring error on state sending to allow the kernel's state to be consistent with the state the firmware will have after the next boot.
