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

ASoC: qcom: sdm845: add missing soundwire runtime stream alloc

During the migration of Soundwire runtime stream allocation from
the Qualcomm Soundwire controller to SoC’s soundcard drivers the sdm845
soundcard was forgotten.

At this point any playback attempt or audio daemon startup, for instance
on sdm845-db845c (Qualcomm RB3 board), will result in stream pointer
NULL dereference:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual
address 0000000000000020
