Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-01-11 13:01:48 UTC

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

ALSA: memalloc: prefer dma_mapping_error() over explicit address checking

With CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG enabled, the following warning is observed:

DMA-API: snd_hda_intel 0000:03:00.1: device driver failed to check map error[device address=0x00000000ffff0000] [size=20480 bytes] [mapped as single]

Check for returned DMA addresses using specialized dma_mapping_error()
helper which is generally recommended for this purpose by
Documentation/core-api/dma-api.rst.
