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-&gt;priv<br /> without checking the pointer for NULL.
