Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] ALSA: hda: cs35l41: Fix NULL pointer dereference in cs35l41_hda_read_acpi()
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2025 06:42:26 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251216114226.2766048-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2025121643-crust-motocross-9384@gregkh>
From: Denis Arefev <arefev@swemel.ru>
[ Upstream commit c34b04cc6178f33c08331568c7fd25c5b9a39f66 ]
The acpi_get_first_physical_node() function can return NULL, in which
case the get_device() function also returns NULL, but this value is
then dereferenced without checking,so add a check to prevent a crash.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
Fixes: 7b2f3eb492da ("ALSA: hda: cs35l41: Add support for CS35L41 in HDA systems")
