A patch is available and has been released by Ubuntu in their security update USN-8566-1. Users should apply the updated Linux kernel packages to remediate this vulnerability. No additional mitigation actions are required beyond applying the official fix.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ASoC qcom q6apm-lpass-dai component allowed multiple graph opens due to the prepare function being called multiple times, causing memory leaks. This issue has been fixed by adding a check before opening the graph. The vulnerability affects various versions of the linux-hwe-edge kernel prior to 6.8.0-136.136 and specific earlier versions. The CVSS score is 5.5, indicating a medium severity impact primarily affecting availability due to memory leaks. A patch is available and has been released by Ubuntu as part of their Linux kernel security updates.
