CVE-2024-57978: media: imx-jpeg: Fix potential error pointer dereference in detach_pm()

Published Feb 27, 2025

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: imx-jpeg: Fix potential error pointer dereference in detachpm()

The proble is on the first line:

if (jpeg->pddev[i] && !pmruntimesuspended(jpeg->pddev[i]))

If jpeg->pddev[i] is an error pointer, then passing it to pmruntimesuspended() will lead to an Oops. The other conditions check for both error pointers and NULL, but it would be more clear to use the ISERRORNULL() check for that.

Compensating control
In media: imx-jpeg detach_pm(), use an IS_ERR_OR_NULL(jpeg->pd_dev[i]) check before calling pm_runtime_suspended() so error pointers and NULL are not dereferenced.
