Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 2/2] i2c: cp2615: fix serial string NULL-deref at probe
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 09:19:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323131910.1715046-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260323131910.1715046-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit aa79f996eb41e95aed85a1bd7f56bcd6a3842008 ]
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")
