Overview

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: SDCA: fix NULL pointer dereference in sdca_dev_unregister_functions sdca_dev_unregister_functions() iterates over all SDCA function descriptors and calls sdca_dev_unregister() on each func_dev without checking for NULL. When a function registration has failed partway through, or the device cleanup races with probe deferral, func_dev entries may be NULL, leading to a kernel oops: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000040 RIP: 0010:device_del+0x1e/0x3e0 Call Trace: sdca_dev_unregister_functions+0x37/0x60 [snd_soc_sdca] release_nodes+0x35/0xb0 devres_release_all+0x90/0x100 device_unbind_cleanup+0xe/0x80 device_release_driver_internal+0x1c1/0x200 bus_remove_device+0xc6/0x130 device_del+0x161/0x3e0 device_unregister+0x17/0x60 sdw_delete_slave+0xb6/0xd0 [soundwire_bus] sdw_bus_master_delete+0x1e/0x50 [soundwire_bus] ... sof_probe_work+0x19/0x30 [snd_sof] This was observed on a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G14 (Panther Lake) with the SOF audio driver probe failing due to missing Panther Lake firmware, causing the subsequent cleanup of SoundWire devices to trigger the crash. Fix this with three changes: 1) Add a NULL guard in sdca_dev_unregister() so that callers do not need to pre-validate the pointer (defense in depth). 2) In sdca_dev_unregister_functions(), skip NULL func_dev entries and clear func_dev to NULL after unregistration, making the function idempotent and safe against double-invocation. 3) In sdca_dev_register_functions(), roll back all previously registered functions when a later one fails, so the function array is never left in a partially-populated state.

Configurations

  1. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: account for fraggap on the paged allocation path In __ip6_append_data(), when the paged-allocation branch is taken (MSG_MORE / NETIF_F_SG / large fraglen), alloclen and pagedlen are computed as alloclen = fragheaderlen + transhdrlen; pagedlen = datalen - transhdrlen; datalen already includes fraggap (datalen = length + fraggap). When fraggap is non-zero, this is not the first skb and transhdrlen is zero. The fraggap bytes carried over from the previous skb are copied just past the fragment headers in the new skb's linear area. The linear area is therefore undersized by fraggap bytes while pagedlen is overstated by the same amount, and the copy writes past skb->end into the trailing skb_shared_info. An unprivileged user can trigger this via a UDPv6 socket using MSG_MORE together with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES. The bad accounting was introduced by commit 773ba4fe9104 ("ipv6: avoid partial copy for zc"). Before commit ce650a166335 ("udp6: Fix __ip6_append_data()'s handling of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES"), the negative copy value caused -EINVAL to be returned. That later commit allowed MSG_SPLICE_PAGES to proceed in this case, making the corruption triggerable. The non-paged branch sets alloclen to fraglen, which already accounts for fraggap because datalen does. Bring the paged branch in line by adding fraggap to alloclen and subtracting it from pagedlen. After this adjustment, copy no longer collapses to -fraggap on the paged path, so remove the stale comment describing that old arithmetic. Since a negative copy is no longer expected for a valid MSG_SPLICE_PAGES case, remove the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES exception from the negative copy check.CVE-2026-53362
