CVE-2022-49569 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

spi: bcm2835: bcm2835_spi_handle_err(): fix NULL pointer deref for non DMA transfers

In case a IRQ based transfer times out the bcm2835_spi_handle_err() function is called. Since commit 1513ceee70f2 (\spi: bcm2835: Drop dma_pending flag) the TX and RX DMA transfers are unconditionally canceled leading to NULL pointer derefs if ctlr->dma_tx or ctlr->dma_rx are not set.

Fix the NULL pointer deref by checking that ctlr->dma_tx and ctlr->dma_rx are valid pointers before accessing them.
