Title
Input: cs40l50-vibra - fix potential NULL dereference in cs40l50_upload_owt()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: cs40l50-vibra - fix potential NULL dereference in cs40l50_upload_owt() The cs40l50_upload_owt() function allocates memory via kmalloc() without checking for allocation failure, which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference. Return -ENOMEM in case allocation fails.
