kernel: ALSA: aloop: Fix peer runtime UAF during format-change stop

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ALSA Advanced Linux Sound Architecture aloop driver. This Use-After-Free UAF vulnerability occurs when loopbackcheckformat stops the capture side during a format change, while a concurrent close operation detaches or frees the runtime. An attacker could...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: qcom: audioreach: fix potential null pointer dereference It is possible that the topology parsing function audioreachwidgetloadmodulecommon could return NULL or an error pointer. Add missing NULL check so that we do not...

kernel: ALSA: timer: Set lower bound of start tick time

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: timer: Set lower bound of start tick time Currently ALSA timer doesn't have the lower limit of the start tick time, and it allows a very small size, e.g. 1 tick with 1ns resolution for hrtimer. Such a situation may lead to ...

ALSA: pcm: Move rwsem lock inside snd_ctl_elem_read to prevent UAF

A use-after-free flaw was found in sndctlelemread in sound/core/control.c in Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ALSA subsystem in the Linux kernel. In this flaw a normal privileged, local attacker may impact the system due to a locking issue in the compat path, leading to a kernel information leak...
