Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's MediaTek audio driver. When suspending the audio device, the driver fails to verify whether memory allocation for the register backup buffer succeeded before accessing it. A local user capable of triggering power management operations during low-memory conditions can cause an invalid memory access (NULL pointer dereference), resulting in a system crash and Denial of Service (DoS).
