Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
char: applicom: fix NULL pointer dereference in ac_ioctl<br />
<br />
Discovered by Atuin - Automated Vulnerability Discovery Engine.<br />
<br />
In ac_ioctl, the validation of IndexCard and the check for a valid<br />
RamIO pointer are skipped when cmd is 6. However, the function<br />
unconditionally executes readb(apbs[IndexCard].RamIO + VERS) at the<br />
end.<br />
<br />
If cmd is 6, IndexCard may reference a board that does not exist<br />
(where RamIO is NULL), leading to a NULL pointer dereference.<br />
<br />
Fix this by skipping the readb access when cmd is 6, as this<br />
command is a global information query and does not target a specific<br />
board context.
