Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-476
NULL Pointer Dereference

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ASoC: mediatek: sof-common: Add NULL check for normal_link string<br />
<br />
It&#39;s not granted that all entries of struct sof_conn_stream declare<br />
a `normal_link` (a non-SOF, direct link) string, and this is the case<br />
for SoCs that support only SOF paths (hence do not support both direct<br />
and SOF usecases).<br />
<br />
For example, in the case of MT8188 there is no normal_link string in<br />
any of the sof_conn_stream entries and there will be more drivers<br />
doing that in the future.<br />
<br />
To avoid possible NULL pointer KPs, add a NULL check for `normal_link`.
