Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the ASoC (ALSA System on Chip) qcom q6apm component. This vulnerability arises from incorrect memory management during the dynamic registration of digital audio interface (DAI) components. When both the component and its associated DAIs are allocated using device-managed application programming interfaces (APIs), an incorrect freeing order can occur, leading to a use-after-free condition. This can result in system instability or a denial of service.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-04-24 15:05:29 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: qcom: q6apm: move component registration to unmanaged version

q6apm component registers dais dynamically from ASoC toplology, which
are allocated using device managed version apis. Allocating both
component and dynamic dais using managed version could lead to incorrect
free ordering, dai will be freed while component still holding references
to it.

Fix this issue by moving component to unmanged version so
that the dai pointers are only freeded after the component is removed.
