[PATCH 3.18 16/64] ALSA: pcm: prevent UAF in snd_pcm_info
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Dec 15 2017 - 04:23:02 EST
3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Robb Glasser <rglasser@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 362bca57f5d78220f8b5907b875961af9436e229 upstream.
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`.
Note: this fixes CVE-2017-0861
