Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] ACPI: NFIT: core: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference
Date: Wed, 03 Jun 2026 19:56:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2418508.ElGaqSPkdT@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5110904.31r3eYUQgx@rafael.j.wysocki>
From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
After commit 9b311b7313d6 ("ACPI: NFIT: Install Notify() handler before
getting NFIT table"), acpi_nfit_probe() installs an ACPI notify handler
for the NFIT device before checking the presence of the NFIT table. If
that table is not there, 0 is returned without allocating the acpi_desc
object and setting the driver data pointer of the NFIT device. If the
platform firmware triggers an NFIT_NOTIFY_UC_MEMORY_ERROR notification
on the NFIT device at that point, acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() will
dereference a NULL pointer.
Prevent that from occurring by adding an acpi_desc check against NULL
to acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify().
Fixes: 9b311b7313d6 ("ACPI: NFIT: Install Notify() handler before getting NFIT table")
