System hang via unterminated ASoC link array
Published Oct 21, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026
Infinite loop in Intel ASoC machine selection in Linux 6.11 through 6.11.2 allows local users to hang the system. The rpl_cs42l43_l0 snd_soc_acpi_link_adr array lacks the empty terminator that hda_sdw_machine_select() expects when testing num_adr. Reachability requires an affected Intel Raptor Lake audio configuration; no data disclosure or modification is reported.
