[PATCH] ASoC: sma1307: Fix uevent string leaks in fault worker
From: Cássio Gabriel
Date: Tue Jun 09 2026 - 08:04:19 EST
sma1307_check_fault_worker() stores dynamically allocated uevent strings in
envp[0]. Several fault conditions are checked in sequence, so a later fault
can overwrite envp[0] before the final kfree() and leak the previous
allocation.
The same flow can leave an OT1 volume entry in envp[1] while envp[0]
has been overwritten by a later non-OT1 fault, causing an inconsistent
uevent payload.
Use static STATUS strings and a stack buffer for the optional VOLUME entry.
This removes the allocations from the worker and keeps VOLUME tied only
to the OT1 events that produce it.
