Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ASoC) Wolfson Microelectronics Audio Digital Signal Processor (wm_adsp) driver. The wm_adsp_control_remove() function attempts to clean up private control data without verifying if the pointer to this data is null. This can occur when certain controls are created without associated private data. An attacker could potentially trigger a NULL dereference, leading to system instability or a Denial of Service (DoS).
