Summary

In the Linux kernel ASoC SOF subsystem, the error path in sof_widget_setup_unlocked() has a bug where cleanup functions are called twice on failure, leading to double decrement of use_count and double invocation of core_put.

Risk Assessment

Double resource release could lead to system instability, crashes, or unpredictable behavior in audio systems.

Recommendation

Install a Linux kernel patch that fixes the error path in sof_widget_setup_unlocked() to prevent double cleanup.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: SOF: sof-audio: Fix error path in sof_widget_setup_unlocked() If either tplg_ops->dai_config or widget_kcontrol_setup fail during widget setup we would double decrement the use_count of the widget because the sof_widget_free_unlocked() would be called twice, similarly the core_put would be invoked twice as well. Since the use_count and core_put() is handled within the widget_free function we need to return without falling through the pipe_widget_free label. The fixes tag is picked to the last change around this part of the code which is adequately old enough for backporting purposes.
