Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 1/2] ASoC: SOF: avoid a NULL dereference with unsupported widgets
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 15:37:47 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921193750.82134-2-artem@trailofbits.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921193750.82134-1-artem@trailofbits.com>

From: Guennadi Liakhovetski <guennadi.liakhovetski@linux.intel.com>

[ Upstream commit e3720f92e0237921da537e47a0b24e27899203f8 ]

If an IPC4 topology contains an unsupported widget, its .module_info
field won't be set, then sof_ipc4_route_setup() will cause a kernel
Oops trying to dereference it. Add a check for such cases.

[ Backport to 6.1.y: although the upstream stable tag names 6.2, the
  same module_info dereference is present here; the source change is
  otherwise unchanged. ]
