Subject: [PATCH v6] usb: gadget: uvc: Fix Null Pointer Dereference in uvcg_video_init()
Date: Mon,  3 Aug 2026 10:18:56 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803044856.9271-1-jeffinphilip14@gmail.com> (raw)

In uvcg_video_init(), if kthread_run_worker() fails,
the error logged uses uvcg_err(), however, the pointer it uses:
video->uvc is not assigned at this point, triggering a null
pointer dereference. Fix this by directly using uvc->func which
is assigned already.

Reported-by: syzbot+8dcac923582c28505fd7@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=8dcac923582c28505fd7
Fixes: 7ea95b110811 ("usb: gadget: uvc: rename functions to avoid conflicts with host uvc")
