Summary
In function msm_pcm_playback_close() in all Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel prtd is assigned substream->runtime->private_data. Later prtd is freed. However prtd is not sanitized and set to NULL resulting in a dangling pointer. There are other functions that access the same memory (substream->runtime->private_data) with a NULL check such as msm_pcm_volume_ctl_put() which means this freed memory could be used.
