Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to a NULL pointer dereference in the Linux kernel's ASoC component, specifically in the fsl-asoc-card module. The
priv->pdev pointer is set after being used in the fsl asoc card audmux init() function, which can lead to a crash. The problem occurs because priv is zero-initialized, and priv->pdev is dereferenced to access the dev struct. If priv->dev is dereferenced before assignment but never used, the driver may not crash due to compiler optimizations. This issue can be exploited to cause a denial of service.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
