Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-12-28 10:01:08 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: core: Fix possible NULL dereference caused by kunit_kzalloc()

kunit_kzalloc() may return a NULL pointer, dereferencing it without
NULL check may lead to NULL dereference.
Add NULL checks for all the kunit_kzalloc() in sound_kunit.c
