commit a820ccbe21 upstream.
The PCM runtime object is created and freed dynamically at PCM stream
open / close time. This is tracked via substream->runtime, and it's
cleared at snd_pcm_detach_substream().
The runtime object assignment is protected by PCM open_mutex, so for
all PCM operations, it's safely handled. However, each PCM substream
provides also an ALSA timer interface, and user-space can access to
this while closing a PCM substream. This may eventually lead to a
UAF, as snd_pcm_timer_resolution() tries to access the runtime while
clearing it in other side.
Fortunately, it's the only concurrent access from the PCM timer, and
it merely reads runtime->timer_resolution field. So, we can avoid the
race by reordering kfree() and wrapping the substream->runtime
clearance with the corresponding timer lock.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
