CWE-476
NULL Pointer Dereference
Publication date:

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ASoC: wm_adsp: Fix NULL dereference when removing firmware controls<br />
<br />
In wm_adsp_control_remove() check that the priv pointer is not NULL<br />
before attempting to cleanup what it points to.<br />
<br />
When cs_dsp creates a control it calls wm_adsp_control_add_cb() so that<br />
wm_adsp can create its own private control data. There are two cases<br />
where private data is not created:<br />
<br />
1. The control is a SYSTEM control, so an ALSA control is not created.<br />
<br />
2. The codec driver has registered a control_add() callback that<br />
hides the control, so wm_adsp_control_add() is not called.<br />
<br />
When cs_dsp_remove destroys its control list it calls<br />
wm_adsp_control_remove() for each control. But wm_adsp_control_remove()<br />
was attempting to cleanup the private data pointed to by cs_ctl->priv<br />
without checking the pointer for NULL.
