In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: qcom: qdsp6: topology: check widget type before accessing data Check widget type before accessing the private data, as this could a virtual widget which is no associated with a dsp graph, container and module. Accessing witout check could lead to incorrect memory access.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Linux kernel contained a vulnerability in the ASoC qcom qdsp6 topology code where the widget type was not verified before accessing its private data. Virtual widgets that are not linked to a DSP graph, container, or module could be accessed incorrectly, potentially causing improper memory access. This vulnerability has been resolved by implementing a widget type check prior to data access. The affected product is linux-hwe-edge with versions before 7.0.0-28.28.1 impacted.
Potential Impact
Incorrect memory access due to accessing private data of virtual widgets without proper type checking could lead to system instability or crashes. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. The impact is limited to the kernel component handling Qualcomm DSP topology widgets.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in linux-hwe-edge version 7.0.0-28.28.1 and later. Users should update to this version or a later patched release to remediate the vulnerability.
