Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150600_23_7-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150600_23_7-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

ASoC: SOF: amd: Fix memory leak in amd_sof_acp_probe()

Driver uses kasprintf() to initialize fw_{code,data}_bin members of struct acp_dev_data, but kfree() is never called to deallocate the memory, which results in a memory leak.

Fix the issue by switching to devm_kasprintf(). Additionally, ensure the allocation was successful by checking the pointer validity.
