Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ALSA: timer: don&#39;t re-enter an instance callback that is still running<br />
<br />
The userspace-driven timer (utimer) TRIGGER ioctl calls<br />
snd_timer_interrupt() directly with no serialization, so two threads<br />
triggering the same utimer can run snd_timer_interrupt() on one<br />
snd_timer concurrently.<br />
<br />
snd_timer_process_callbacks() drops timer->lock around each instance<br />
callback and marks the in-flight callback with the single<br />
SNDRV_TIMER_IFLG_CALLBACK bit; snd_timer_close_locked() waits on that<br />
bit to drain an in-flight callback before freeing the instance. The bit<br />
cannot represent two concurrent callbacks: when a second interrupt<br />
re-queues an instance whose callback is still running, both run at once,<br />
the first to finish clears the bit, and the close-path drain then frees<br />
the instance (and its callback_data) while the other callback is still<br />
live - a use-after-free reachable by any user able to open<br />
/dev/snd/timer, both via a user timer instance and via a sequencer queue<br />
timer bound to the utimer.<br />
<br />
snd_timer_interrupt() sets IFLG_CALLBACK before dropping timer->lock, so<br />
a concurrent interrupt already observes it under the lock. Skip<br />
re-queuing an instance (and its slaves) to the ack/sack list while its<br />
callback is in flight; the accumulated pticks are delivered on the next<br />
tick, so no event is lost.
