Summary

In the Linux kernel ASoC qcom q6apm-lpass-dais component, if opening the source graph fails, the graph pointer is set to NULL, and a subsequent call to q6apm_lpass_dai_prepare() dereferences NULL. This can cause a NULL pointer exception and kernel crash.

Risk Assessment

Can cause kernel crashes on Qualcomm audio devices, especially with incorrect audioreach topology or ADSP rejection.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix handling the NULL graph case in q6apm_lpass_dai_prepare().

Original NVD description (English source)

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 "dai_data->graph[dai->id]" is assigned NULL. Preparing the DAI for sink graph continues though and next call to q6apm_lpass_dai_prepare() receives dai_data->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 snd_soc_pcm_dai_prepare on TX_CODEC_DMA_TX_3: -22 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000a8 ...
