Summary

In the Linux kernel, a potential NULL pointer dereference was found in the wpcm_fiu_probe() function of the SPI wpcm-fiu driver. platform_get_resource_byname() can return NULL, causing a crash when passed to resource_size(). The fix moves the fiu->memory_size assignment after the error check for devm_ioremap_resource() to prevent the issue.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves possible system hang or kernel crash during SPI driver initialization on platforms with FIU controller, leading to SPI device unavailability and potential DoS attack.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit in stable branch) and apply the security patch in production systems.
