Subject: [PATCH 6.1] ALSA: hda: Fix missing pointer check in hda_component_manager_init function
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 11:05:45 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914080546.11947-1-roman.demidov.nn@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Denis Arefev <arefev@swemel.ru>

commit 1cf11d80db5df805b538c942269e05a65bcaf5bc upstream.

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.

[Roman: Instead of modifying hda_component_manager_init() (which does not
yet exist in version 6.1), a check needs to be added to the
cs35l41_generic_fixup() function—the very function introduced by the
offending commit, which calls component_match_add() without verifying its
successful completion.]
