Title
ASoC: simple-card-utils: Fix pointer check in graph_util_parse_link_direction
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: simple-card-utils: Fix pointer check in graph_util_parse_link_direction Actually check if the passed pointers are valid, before writing to them. This also fixes a USBAN warning: UBSAN: invalid-load in ../sound/soc/fsl/imx-card.c:687:25 load of value 255 is not a valid value for type '_Bool' This is because playback_only is uninitialized and is not written to, as the playback-only property is absent.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
