In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: ipc4-topology: Fix input format query of process modules without base extension
If a process module does not have base config extension then the same format applies to all of it's inputs and the process->base_config_ext is NULL, causing NULL dereference when specifically crafted topology and sequences used.
