Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Linux kernel versions prior to 5.12-rc4
Description:
The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the sound/soc/qcom/sdm845.c soundwire device driver of the Linux kernel. This occurs when an unexpected port ID number is encountered. Exploitation of this issue could allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to protected information.

For Linux kernel versions prior to 5.12-rc4, update to version 5.12-rc4 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the soundwire device driver to minimize the risk of exploitation.
