[PATCH 3.2 016/153] ALSA: seq: More protection for concurrent write and ioctl races

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed May 30 2018 - 07:13:31 EST


3.2.102-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit 7bd80091567789f1c0cb70eb4737aac8bcd2b6b9 upstream.

This patch is an attempt for further hardening against races between
the concurrent write and ioctls. The previous fix d15d662e89fc
("ALSA: seq: Fix racy pool initializations") covered the race of the
pool initialization at writer and the pool resize ioctl by the
client->ioctl_mutex (CVE-2018-1000004). However, basically this mutex
should be applied more widely to the whole write operation for
avoiding the unexpected pool operations by another thread.

The only change outside snd_seq_write() is the additional mutex
argument to helper functions, so that we can unlock / relock the given
mutex temporarily during schedule() call for blocking write.

Fixes: d15d662e89fc ("ALSA: seq: Fix racy pool initializations")
