CVE-2022-49616: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: rt7*-sdw: harden jack_detect_handler Realtek headset codec drivers typically check if the card is instantiated before proceeding with the jack detection. The rt700, rt711 and rt711-sdca are however missing a check on the card pointer, which can lead to NULL dereferences encountered in driver bind/unbind tests.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 5.6, before 5.15.56 (fixed in 5.15.56); from 5.16, before 5.18.13 (fixed in 5.18.13); version 5.19 only
