Summary
CVE-2024-50160 affecting package kernel for versions less than 5.15.173.1-1
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: hda/cs8409: Fix possible NULL dereference

If sndhdagenaddkctl fails to allocate memory and returns NULL, then NULL pointer dereference will occur in the next line.

Since dolphinfixups function is a hdafixup function which is not supposed to return any errors, add simple check before dereference, ignore the fail.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
