Linux Kernel Intel ASoC AVS Null Pointer Dereference Vulnerability

Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ASoC Intel AVS component allows for a null pointer dereference. This issue arises because the first element of the array returned by the 'parse_int_array()' function indicates its length. If this length is zero, any attempt to access elements beyond the first one results in a null pointer dereference.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability leads to a null pointer dereference, causing a kernel crash.
