Subject: [PATCH v3] media: i2c: alvium: fix critical pointer access in alvium_ctrl_init
Date: Fri,  8 May 2026 11:59:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260508095906.500220-1-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.

Fixes: 0a7af872915e ("media: i2c: Add support for alvium camera")

Changes in v3 (since v1):
- Split conditional creation of manual WB controls into another patch.
- Limit changes only on checking returned pointer values.
- ctrls->pixel_rate->flags is readonly by default, no need to replicate that.

Changes in v2:
- Has been rewoked completely because file was brocken.
