Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2022-49615
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A kernel NULL pointer dereference issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the ASoC: rt711-sdca component. This issue occurs when an IO error happens during initial settings operations, before the codec probe function is called, and the rt711->component has not been assigned yet, resulting in a kernel panic. The problem arises from the use of `component->dev` instead of `slave->dev`.
**Recommendations**
To resolve this issue, apply the patch that changes `component->dev` to `slave->dev` in the affected component.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
