Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: SOF: ipc4-topology: Harden loops for looking up ALH copiers Other, non DAI copier widgets could have the same stream name (sname) as the ALH copier and in that case the copier->data is NULL, no alh_data is attached, which could lead to NULL pointer dereference. We could check for this NULL pointer in sof_ipc4_prepare_copier_module() and avoid the crash, but a similar loop in sof_ipc4_widget_setup_comp_dai() will miscalculate the ALH device count, causing broken audio. The correct fix is to harden the matching logic by making sure that the 1. widget is a DAI widget - so dai = w->private is valid 2. the dai (and thus the copier) is ALH copier

Podr\u00edamos comprobar este puntero NULL en sof_ipc4_prepare_copier_module() y evitar el fallo, pero un bucle similar en sof_ipc4_widget_setup_comp_dai() calcular\u00eda err\u00f3neamente el n\u00famero de dispositivos ALH, lo que provocar\u00eda un audio interrumpido. La soluci\u00f3n correcta es reforzar la l\u00f3gica de coincidencia asegur\u00e1ndose de que: 1. el widget sea un widget DAI, por lo que dai = w-\u0026gt;private es v\u00e1lido; 2. el dai (y, por lo tanto, el copiador) sea un copiador ALH."
