In hexium_attach(dev, info), saa7146_vv_init() is called to allocate a new memory for dev->vv_data. In hexium_detach(), saa7146_vv_release() will be called and there is a dereference of dev->vv_data in saa7146_vv_release(), which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of saa7146_vv_init() according to the following logic. Both hexium_attach() and hexium_detach() are callback functions of the variable 'extension', so there exists a possible call chain directly from hexium_attach() to hexium_detach(): hexium_attach(dev, info) -- fail to alloc memory to dev->vv_data | in saa7146_vv_init(). | | hexium_detach() -- a dereference of dev->vv_data in saa7146_vv_release() Fix this bug by adding a check of saa7146_vv_init(). This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs differential checking to identify inconsistent security operations (e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms that the inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or the callers, so they constitute bugs. Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed the bug. Builds with CONFIG_VIDEO_HEXIUM_ORION=m show no new warnings, and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
