Subject: [PATCH] kho: Fix NULL pointer dereference in kho_update_memory_map()
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2026 21:12:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260305131207.5584-1-zhanxusheng@xiaomi.com> (raw)
The function kho_update_memory_map currently does not check if the
pointer returned by fdt_getprop_w is NULL. If the pointer is NULL,
subsequent operations such as dereferencing the pointer or using it
in unaligned access functions could cause undefined behavior or
crashes. Prevent that.
