Subject: [PATCH v1] media: i2c: alvium: fix critical pointer access in alvium_ctrl_init
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 18:34:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507163443.39794-1-mhecht73@gmail.com> (raw)
The current implementation of alvium_ctrl_init creates several controls
in function alvium_ctrl_init and uses the returned pointer without
check. That can cause write access over NULL-pointer for several
controls.
The reworked code checks the pointers before adding flags and also it
creates controls for V4L2_CID_BLUE_BALANCE and V4L2_CID_RED_BALANCE only
if supported by the particular camera model.
Fixes: 0a7af872915e ("media: i2c: Add support for alvium camera")
