    ALSA: timer: Fix use-after-free problem · c0317c0e
    Wang Wensheng authored
    When the timer instance was add into ack_list but was not currently in
    process, the user could stop it via snd_timer_stop1() without delete it
    from the ack_list. Then the user could free the timer instance and when
    it was actually processed UAF occurred.
    
    This issue could be reproduced via testcase snd_timer01 in ltp - running
    several instances of that testcase at the same time.
    
    What I actually met was that the ack_list of the timer broken and the
    kernel went into deadloop with irqoff. That could be detected by
    hardlockup detector on board or when we run it on qemu, we could use gdb
    to dump the ack_list when the console has no response.
    
    To fix this issue, we delete the timer instance from ack_list and
    active_list unconditionally in snd_timer_stop1().
