From 362bca57f5d78220f8b5907b875961af9436e229 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robb Glasser Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2017 09:16:55 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: pcm: prevent UAF in snd_pcm_info Git-commit: 362bca57f5d78220f8b5907b875961af9436e229 Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc3 References: bsc#1051510 When the device descriptor is closed, the `substream->runtime` pointer is freed. But another thread may be in the ioctl handler, case SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_PCM_INFO. This case calls snd_pcm_info_user() which calls snd_pcm_info() which accesses the now freed `substream->runtime`.
