CVE-2024-53199

Summary

CVE-2024-53199 is a newly identified vulnerability in the Linux kernel. Specifically, in the ASoC (Advanced Sound Architecture) subsystem, the function imx_audmix_probe contains an issue. The function devm_kasprintf(), which is used within imx_audmix_probe, can return a NULL pointer if it fails. However, this potential NULL return value is not checked in imx_audmix_probe, leading to a kernel NULL pointer dereference error if devm_kasprintf fails. The vulnerability has been addressed by adding a NULL check in imx_audmix_probe to prevent such dereferencing errors.
