[PATCH] [RFC PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: endpoint: Prevent NULL pointer deference in snd_usb_endpoint_close

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When multiple plug-in and plug-out events occur,
there is a risk of encountering a NULL pointer dereference
leading to a kernel panic during a headset use-case.
this issue arises in the snd_usb_endpoint_close function

To avoid check if ep->iface_ref is not null before decrementing
its opened count. If ep->iface_ref is null, we skip the decrement
and the subsequent logic.
