CVE-2022-50501 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: coda: Add check for dcoda_iram_alloc As the coda_iram_alloc may return NULL pointer, it should be better to check the return value in order to avoid NULL poineter dereference, same as the others.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's media subsystem, specifically within the Coda video decoder driver, has been addressed. The issue arose because the function 'coda_iram_alloc' could return a NULL pointer, leading to a potential NULL pointer dereference. This vulnerability affected several versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been fixed. Instructions for upgrading the Linux kernel can be found in the official Linux kernel documentation.
