Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) fsl_micfil audio driver. A local user can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or system instability by repeatedly configuring or freeing audio stream parameters. Because the driver enables and disables the master audio clock without proper state tracking, mismatched calls can trigger kernel warnings or leak clock references, preventing the clock from shutting down and leading to resource exhaustion.
