Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ALSA: pcm: oss: Fix setup list UAF on proc write error<br />
<br />
snd_pcm_oss_proc_write() links a newly allocated setup entry into the<br />
OSS setup list before duplicating the task name. If the task-name<br />
allocation fails, the error path frees the already linked entry and<br />
leaves setup_list pointing at freed memory.<br />
<br />
A later OSS device open can then walk the stale list entry in<br />
snd_pcm_oss_look_for_setup() and dereference freed memory.<br />
<br />
Allocate the task name and initialize the setup entry before publishing<br />
the entry on setup_list. Also fetch the initial proc read iterator only<br />
after taking setup_mutex, so all setup_list traversal follows the same<br />
list lifetime rules.
