CVE-2024-41037 ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda: fix null deref on system suspend entry

What is CVE-2024-41037?

CVE-2024-41037 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 29 Jul 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda: fix null deref on system suspend entry

When system enters suspend with an active stream, SOF core calls hw_params_upon_resume(). On Intel platforms with HDA DMA used to manage the link DMA, this leads to call chain of

hda_dsp_set_hw_params_upon_resume() -> hda_dsp_dais_suspend() -> hda_dai_suspend() -> hda_ipc4_post_trigger()

A bug is hit in hda_dai_suspend() as hda_link_dma_cleanup() is run first, which clears hext_stream->link_substream, and then hda_ipc4_post_trigger() is called with a NULL snd_pcm_substream pointer.

Weakness: CWE-476
