Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: hda: intel-sdw-acpi: harden detection of controller

The existing code currently sets a pointer to an ACPI handle before
checking that it's actually a SoundWire controller. This can lead to
issues where the graph walk continues and eventually fails, but the
pointer was set already.

This patch changes the logic so that the information provided to
the caller is set when a controller is found.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ALSA: hda: intel-sdw-acpi: reforzar la detección del controlador El código existente actualmente establece un puntero a un identificador ACPI antes de verificar que en realidad es un controlador SoundWire. Esto puede provocar problemas en los que el recorrido del gráfico continúa y finalmente falla, pero el puntero ya estaba configurado. Este parche cambia la lógica para que la información proporcionada a la persona que llama se establezca cuando se encuentra un controlador.
