[PATCH 3.16 284/370] ALSA: seq: Fix race at creating a queue
From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Fri Mar 10 2017 - 08:18:30 EST
3.16.42-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>
commit 4842e98f26dd80be3623c4714a244ba52ea096a8 upstream.
When a sequencer queue is created in snd_seq_queue_alloc(),it adds the
new queue element to the public list before referencing it. Thus the
queue might be deleted before the call of snd_seq_queue_use(), and it
results in the use-after-free error, as spotted by syzkaller.
The fix is to reference the queue object at the right time.
