CVE-2026-46261: spi: wpcm-fiu: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in wpcm_fiu_probe()

Published Jun 3, 2026
·
Updated

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

spi: wpcm-fiu: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in wpcmfiuprobe()

platformgetresourcebyname() can return NULL, which would cause a crash when passed the pointer to resourcesize().

Move the fiu->memorysize assignment after the error check for devmioremapresource() to prevent the potential NULL pointer dereference.
