Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: hda: cs35l41: validate and free ACPI mute object
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 19:36:25 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708113625.752913-1-lgs201920130244@gmail.com> (raw)
cs35l41_get_acpi_mute_state() evaluates a _DSM method to get the ACPI
mute state and reads the first byte from the returned object.
However, the returned ACPI object is owned by the caller and is never
freed after use, so each successful query leaks the _DSM result object.
The code also assumes that the returned object is a buffer with at least
one byte. A malformed firmware response can return a different object
type or an empty buffer, and the direct ret->buffer.pointer dereference
can then access an invalid pointer.
Use the typed _DSM helper, validate that the returned buffer contains at
least one byte, and free the ACPI object after reading it.
Fixes: 447106e92a0c ("ALSA: hda: cs35l41: Support mute notifications for CS35L41 HDA")
