Subject: [PATCH] i2c: cp2615: fix serial string NULL-deref at probe
Date: Mon,  9 Mar 2026 08:50:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309075016.25612-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

The cp2615 driver uses the USB device serial string as the i2c adapter
name but does not make sure that the string exists.

Verify that the device has a serial number before accessing it to avoid
triggering a NULL-pointer dereference (e.g. with malicious devices).

Fixes: 4a7695429ead ("i2c: cp2615: add i2c driver for Silicon Labs' CP2615 Digital Audio Bridge")
