Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: rawmidi: Fix potential UAF from sequencer destruction
Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2021 12:36:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210929113620.2194847-1-john@metanate.com> (raw)
If the sequencer device outlives the rawmidi device, then
snd_rawmidi_dev_seq_free() will run after release_rawmidi_device() has
freed the snd_rawmidi structure.
This can easily be reproduced with CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE.
Keep a reference to the rawmidi device until the sequencer has been
destroyed in order to avoid this.
