Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-43412)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-43412). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: qcom: qdsp6: Fix q6apm remove ordering during ADSP stop and start
During ADSP stop and start, the kernel crashes due to the order in which
ASoC components are removed.
On ADSP stop, the q6apm-audio .remove callback unloads topology and removes
PCM runtimes during ASoC teardown. This deletes the RTDs that contain the
q6apm DAI components before their removal pass runs, leaving those
components still linked to the card and causing crashes on the next rebind.
Fix this by ensuring that all dependent (child) components are removed
first, and the q6apm component is removed last.
