NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by Centos.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: seq: oss: Serialize readq reset state with q->lock

snd_seq_oss_readq_clear() resets qlen, head, and tail without q->lock even though the normal reader and producer paths serialize the same ring state under that spinlock. A reset can therefore race snd_seq_oss_readq_free() or snd_seq_oss_readq_put_event() and leave stale records in the queue, drop freshly queued ones, or report the wrong readiness after wakeup. KCSAN reports a data race between snd_seq_oss_readq_clear() and snd_seq_oss_readq_free().

Take q->lock while clearing the ring and resetting input_time. Factor the enqueue logic into a caller-locked helper so snd_seq_oss_readq_put_timestamp() updates its suppression state under the same lock instead of racing the reset path.

The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path:

reset path: locked readq updater:

  1. snd_seq_oss_reset() or 1. A reader or callback producer release reaches takes q->lock on the same queue. snd_seq_oss_readq_clear().
  2. snd_seq_oss_readq_clear() 2. The updater tests or modifies resets qlen, head, tail, qlen, head, and tail. and input_time.
  3. snd_seq_oss_readq_clear() 3. The updater completes its wakes sleepers on read-modify-write sequence. q->midi_sleep.
  4. Without q->lock, the reset 4. The resulting ring state drives can overlap the locked later reads and readiness. update.

KCSAN reports:
