How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 kernel-64k-debug-devel.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-debug-devel package and not the kernel-64k-debug-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda: fix null deref on system suspend entry

When system enters suspend with an active stream, SOF core calls hw_params_upon_resume(). On Intel platforms with HDA DMA used to manage the link DMA, this leads to call chain of

hda_dsp_set_hw_params_upon_resume() -> hda_dsp_dais_suspend() -> hda_dai_suspend() -> hda_ipc4_post_trigger()

A bug is hit in hda_dai_suspend() as hda_link_dma_cleanup() is run first, which clears hext_stream->link_substream, and then hda_ipc4_post_trigger() is called with a NULL snd_pcm_substream pointer.
