Summary

In the Linux kernel, the ASoC driver for MediaTek mt8365, mt8365_afe_suspend(), did not check the result of the register backup buffer allocation, which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference. A missing NULL check was added and the error is now propagated in mt8365_afe_dev_runtime_suspend() to avoid updating the suspended state on failure.

Risk Assessment

The bug could cause a system crash (kernel panic) during suspend when memory allocation fails. This may lead to device unavailability or system instability.

Recommendation

Install the Linux kernel update containing the fix for CVE-2026-97414. After updating, reboot the system.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: mediatek: mt8365-afe-pcm: fix possible NULL-pointer dereferences in mt8365_afe_suspend() mt8365_afe_suspend() allocates the register backup buffer with devm_kcalloc(), but does not check for allocation failure before using the returned pointer. This may lead to a NULL pointer dereference when accessing afe->reg_back_up[i]. Add the missing NULL check and return -ENOMEM on allocation failure after disabling the main clock. Also propagate the return value of mt8365_afe_suspend() in mt8365_afe_dev_runtime_suspend() so that the suspended state is not updated when suspend fails.
