CWE ID 476
Summary
CVE-2024-57978 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel's media driver for Imx-JPEG. This issue arises from a potential error pointer dereference in the detach_pm() function. Specifically, the 'if' condition on the first line may pass an error pointer to pm_runtime_suspended(), leading to an Oops if jpeg->pd_dev[i] is an error pointer. Although other conditions check for errors and NULL values, using the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() check for this condition would enhance clarity.
