Linux Kernel Vulnerability in HDMI Audio Driver by Vendor

CVE-2025-38130

What is CVE-2025-38130?

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel affects HDMI audio drivers, where a null function pointer is called during driver removal, leading to a system error. This occurs when the audio helper attempts to execute a callback function that hasn't been properly set, potentially causing application crashes. The issue has been fixed by ensuring the callback is only invoked when the pointer is not null, thereby preventing such runtime errors.
