ALSA: aloop: Fix racy access at PCM trigger

2026-02-11T12:41:41+00:00

commit 826af7fa62e347464b1b4e0ba2fe19a92438084f upstream. The PCM trigger callback of aloop driver tries to check the PCM state and stop the stream of the tied substream in the corresponding cable. Since both check and stop operations are performed outside the cable lock, this may result in UAF when a program attempts to trigger frequently while opening/closing the tied stream, as spotted by fuzzers. For addressing the UAF, this patch changes two things: - It covers the most of code in loopback_check_format() with cable->lock spinlock, and add the proper NULL checks. This avoids already some racy accesses. - In addition, now we try to check the state of the capture PCM stream that may be stopped in this function, which was the major pain point leading to UAF.

ALSA: serial-generic: remove shared static buffer

2025-09-15T10:33:53+00:00

If multiple instances of this driver are instantiated and try to send concurrently then the single static buffer snd_serial_generic_tx_work() will cause corruption in the data output. Move the buffer into the per-instance driver data to avoid this. Signed-off-by: John Keeping Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai
