1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53350)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a null pointer dereference in wm_adsp_control_remove() when removing firmware controls. A local user can trigger removal of a control without associated private control data to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs for controls where private data is not created, including SYSTEM controls and controls hidden by a codec driver's control_add() callback.
