In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: cmipci: check snd_ctl_new1() return value
snd_ctl_new1() can return NULL when memory allocation fails.
snd_cmipci_spdif_controls() does not check the return value before
dereferencing kctl->id.device, which can lead to a NULL pointer
dereference.
Add NULL checks after snd_ctl_new1() calls and return -ENOMEM if any
fails.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) cmipci component. This vulnerability occurs because the snd_cmipci_spdif_controls() function fails to check the return value of snd_ctl_new1(), which can return a null pointer if memory allocation fails. A local attacker could exploit this to trigger a null pointer dereference, leading to a system crash and a denial of service (DoS).
