Subject: [PATCH v2] ALSA: usb-audio: us144mkii: Fix null-deref in tascam_midi_in_urb_complete()
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2025 20:51:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250819185133.10464-1-ramiserifpersia@gmail.com> (raw)
Changes in v2:
- Removed duplicate call to usb_put_urb() on submission failure.
- Removed extra blank line after the function.
The smatch tool reported a potential null pointer dereference in
tascam_midi_in_urb_complete(). The 'tascam' variable, derived from
'urb->context', was checked for nullity in one place, but dereferenced
without a check in several other places.
This patch fixes the issue by adding a null check at the beginning of
the function. If 'tascam' is null, the function now safely exits.
This prevents any potential crashes from null pointer dereferences.
It also fixes a latent bug where 'usb_put_urb()' could
be called twice for the same URB on submission failure, which would
lead to a use-after-free error.
