Summary

In the Linux kernel ASoC, snd_soc_lookup_component_nolocked() does not handle a NULL driver->name. When CPU and Platform share the same device (e.g., soc-generic-dmaengine-pcm.c), the missing driver name causes a NULL pointer dereference in strcmp during component unregistration.

Risk Assessment

May cause a kernel oops during audio driver initialization or removal, leading to audio unavailability or system instability.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that handles a NULL driver name in snd_soc_lookup_component_nolocked().

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: soc-core: care NULL dirver name on snd_soc_lookup_component_nolocked() soc-generic-dmaengine-pcm.c uses same dev for both CPU and Platform. In such case, CPU component driver might not have driver->name, then snd_soc_lookup_component_nolocked() will be NULL pointer access error. Care NULL driver name.
