Summary

In the cs42l43 SPI driver in the Linux kernel, the property entries array is not null-terminated. When unterminated, this can lead to a fault in the cs35l56 amplifier driver as the node parser walks off the end of the array into unknown memory.

Risk Assessment

The bug can cause a crash in the cs35l56 driver, potentially leading to audio system instability or kernel panic.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that ensures the property entries array is null-terminated.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: cs42l43: Property entry should be a null-terminated array The software node does not specify a count of property entries, so the array must be null-terminated. When unterminated, this can lead to a fault in the downstream cs35l56 amplifier driver, because the node parse walks off the end of the array into unknown memory.
