Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel versions prior to 6.6.50
Description
The issue is related to a NULL pointer dereference in the ASoC component of the Linux kernel. This occurs due to a reversed if statement in the
tasdev load calibrated data() function, which can either be a no-op or lead to a NULL dereference, potentially causing a denial of service.Recommendations
To resolve the issue, update the Linux kernel to version 6.6.50 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable
tasdev load calibrated data() function until a patch is available.Exploit
