In snd_timer_proc_read(), there is an if statement on line 1204 to check whether timer->card is NULL: if (timer->card && timer->card->shutdown) When timer->card is NULL, it is used on lines 1212 and 1215: timer->card->number Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur. To fix these bugs, timer->card is checked before being used. These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
