commit dc7497795e014d84699c3b8809ed6df35352dd74 upstream.

snd_seq_check_queue() passes the current tick and time of the given
queue as a pointer to snd_seq_prioq_cell_out(), but those might be
updated concurrently by the seq timer update.

Fix it by retrieving the current tick and time via the proper helper
functions at first, and pass those values to snd_seq_prioq_cell_out()
later in the loops.

snd_seq_timer_get_cur_time() takes a new argument and adjusts with the
current system time only when it's requested so; this update isn't
needed for snd_seq_check_queue(), as it's called either from the
interrupt handler or right after queuing.

Also, snd_seq_timer_get_cur_tick() is changed to read the value in the
spinlock for the concurrency, too.

commit bb51e669fa49feb5904f452b2991b240ef31bc97 upstream.

The queue flags are represented in bit fields and the concurrent
access may result in unexpected results.  Although the current code
should be mostly OK as it's only reading a field while writing other
fields as KCSAN reported, it's safer to cover both with a proper
spinlock protection.

This patch fixes the possible concurrent read by protecting with
q-&gt;owner_lock.  Also the queue owner field is protected as well since
it's the field to be protected by the lock itself.

<title>ALSA: seq: Fix possible UAF in snd_seq_check_queue()</title>

<id>0609022631b3f4f6af082d12351b0d926e979159</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d0f833065221cbfcbadf19fd4102bcfa9330006a upstream.

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
  -&gt; snd_seq_release()		  -&gt; snd_seq_timer_interrupt()
    -&gt; snd_seq_free_client()	    -&gt; snd_seq_check_queue()
				      -&gt; cell = snd_seq_prioq_cell_peek()
      -&gt; snd_seq_prioq_leave()
         .... removing all cells
      -&gt; snd_seq_pool_done()
         .... vfree()
				      -&gt; 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.

<title>ALSA: seq: 2nd attempt at fixing race creating a queue</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 4842e98f26dd80be3623c4714a244ba52ea096a8 ("ALSA: seq: Fix race at
creating a queue") attempted to fix a race reported by syzkaller. That
fix has been described as follows:

"
When a sequencer queue is created in snd_seq_queue_alloc(),it adds the
new queue element to the public list before referencing it.  Thus the
queue might be deleted before the call of snd_seq_queue_use(), and it
results in the use-after-free error, as spotted by syzkaller.

The fix is to reference the queue object at the right time.
"

Even with that fix in place, syzkaller reported a use-after-free error.
It specifically pointed to the last instruction "return q-&gt;queue" in
snd_seq_queue_alloc(). The pointer q is being used after kfree() has
been called on it.

It turned out that there is still a small window where a race can
happen. The window opens at
snd_seq_ioctl_create_queue()-&gt;snd_seq_queue_alloc()-&gt;queue_list_add()
and closes at
snd_seq_ioctl_create_queue()-&gt;queueptr()-&gt;snd_use_lock_use(). Between
these two calls, a different thread could delete the queue and possibly
re-create a different queue in the same location in queue_list.

This change prevents this situation by calling snd_use_lock_use() from
snd_seq_queue_alloc() prior to calling queue_list_add(). It is then the
caller's responsibility to call snd_use_lock_free(&amp;q-&gt;use_lock).

ALSA sequencer code has an open race between the timer setup ioctl and
the close of the client.  This was triggered by syzkaller fuzzer, and
a use-after-free was caught there as a result.

This patch papers over it by adding a proper queue-&gt;timer_mutex lock
around the timer-related calls in the relevant code path.

We may disable proc fs only for sound part, to reduce ALSA
memory footprint. So add CONFIG_SND_PROC_FS and replace the
old CONFIG_PROC_FSs in alsa code.

With sound proc fs disabled, we can save about 9KB memory
size on X86_64 platform.
