Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionNVD
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: amd/sdw_utils: avoid NULL deref when devm_kasprintf() fails
devm_kasprintf() may return NULL on memory allocation failure, but the debug message prints cpus->dai_name before checking it. Move the dev_dbg() call after the NULL check to prevent potential NULL pointer dereference.
