The kernel driver for the admv1013 IIO device performs a string comparison on a pointer that may not be initialized. When device_property_read_string() fails, the pointer remains unset and the code falls through to a strcmp call, dereferencing a null or garbage pointer and causing a kernel fault that brings the system down.

All Linux kernels with the admv1013 driver could be vulnerable. No specific version range is provided; any kernel that has not incorporated the recent patches may still contain the flaw.

The fault results in a kernel crash, leading to denial of service. The CVE does not provide explicit information on exploitation difficulty or likelihood. EPSS is not available and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV. Based on the description, the fault is triggered during a device property read, so a local user with access to the admv1013 IIO device could potentially trigger the crash. No public exploitation has been reported.
