Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability in the ALSA PCM subsystem was found where the iov_iter setup was incorrectly applied for silencing (NULL data), leading to a bogus iov_iter calculation. On RISC-V architecture, this causes a NULL pointer dereference.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability can cause a system panic on RISC-V platforms, posing a risk to service stability and availability in environments using this architecture.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit addressing the issue in interleaved_copy()). Monitor official security advisories from your distribution.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: pcm: Don't setup bogus iov_iter for silencing At transition to the iov_iter for PCM data transfer, we blindly applied the iov_iter setup also for silencing (i.e. data = NULL), and it leads to a calculation of bogus iov_iter. Fortunately this didn't cause troubles on most of architectures but it goes wrong on RISC-V now, causing a NULL dereference. Handle the NULL data case to treat the silencing in interleaved_copy() for addressing the bug above. noninterleaved_copy() has already the NULL data handling, so it doesn't need changes.
