CVE-2024-46798

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: dapm: Fix UAF for snd_soc_pcm_runtime object

When using kernel with the following extra config,

• CONFIG_KASAN=y
• CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC=y
• CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=y
• CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC=y
• CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=4096

kernel detects that snd_pcm_suspend_all() access a freed
‘snd_soc_pcm_runtime’ object when the system is suspended, which
leads to a use-after-free bug:

[ 52.047746] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in snd_pcm_suspend_all+0x1a8/0x270

[ 52.047824] snd_soc_suspend+0x19c/0x4e0

The snd_pcm_sync_stop() has a NULL check on ‘substream->runtime’ before
making any access. So we need to always set ‘substream->runtime’ to NULL
everytime we kfree() it.
