Subject: [PATCH v2] ALSA: hda: Fix missing pointer check in hda_component_manager_init function
Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2025 13:50:47 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251009105050.20806-1-arefev@swemel.ru> (raw)
The __component_match_add function may assign the 'matchptr' pointer
the value ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM), which will subsequently be dereferenced.
The call stack leading to the error looks like this:
hda_component_manager_init
|-> component_match_add
|-> component_match_add_release
|-> __component_match_add ( ... ,**matchptr, ... )
|-> *matchptr = ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); // assign
|-> component_master_add_with_match( ... match)
|-> component_match_realloc(match, match->num); // dereference
Add IS_ERR() check to prevent the crash.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
