[alsa-devel] [PATCH 1/2] ALSA: seq: Fix possible UAF in snd_seq_check_queue()

[Takashi Iwai]

Although we've covered the races between concurrent write() and
ioctl() in the previous patch series, there is still a possible UAF in
the following scenario:

A: user client closed		B: timer irq
  -> snd_seq_release()		  -> snd_seq_timer_interrupt()
    -> snd_seq_free_client()	    -> snd_seq_check_queue()
				      -> cell = snd_seq_prioq_cell_peek()
      -> snd_seq_prioq_leave()
         .... removing all cells
      -> snd_seq_pool_done()
         .... vfree()
				      -> snd_seq_compare_tick_time(cell)
				         ... Oops

So the problem is that a cell is peeked and accessed without any
protection until it's retrieved from the queue again via
snd_seq_prioq_cell_out().

This patch tries to address it, also cleans up the code by a slight
refactoring.  snd_seq_prioq_cell_out() now receives an extra pointer
argument.  When it's non-NULL, the function checks the event timestamp
with the given pointer.  The caller needs to pass the right reference
either to snd_seq_tick or snd_seq_realtime depending on the event
timestamp type.

A good news is that the above change allows us to remove the
snd_seq_prioq_cell_peek(), too, thus the patch actually reduces the
code size.
