Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s ASoC AMD ACP I2S driver (sound/soc/amd/acp/acp-i2s.c). Some functions used the wrong helper to obtain the device’s ACP chip information, which left certain acp_chip_info members unset and could result in a NULL pointer dereference in acp_i2s_set_fmt(), acp_i2s_hw_params(), acp_i2s_trigger() and acp_i2s_startup(). A local attacker with access to the audio device interface could cause a denial-of-service (kernel crash)
