      <title>CVE-2023-52736 — ALSA: hda: Do not unset preset when cleaning up codec</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-52736</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ALSA: hda: Do not unset preset when cleaning up codec&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Several functions that take part in codec&amp;#39;s initialization and removal
are re-used by ASoC codec drivers implementations. Drivers mimic the
behavior of hda_codec_driver_probe/remove() found in
sound/pci/hda/hda_bind.c with their component-&amp;gt;probe/remove() instead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the reasons for that is the expectation of
snd_hda_codec_device_new() to receive a valid pointer to an instance of
struct snd_card. This expectation can be met only once sound card
components probing commences.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As ASoC sound card may be unbound without codec device being actually
removed from the system, unsetting -&amp;gt;preset in
snd_hda_codec_cleanup_for_unbind() interferes with module unload -&amp;gt; load
scenario causing null-ptr-deref. Preset is assigned only once, during
device/driver matching whereas ASoC codec driver&amp;#39;s module reloading may
occur several times throughout the lifetime of an audio stack.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
