    ALSA: seq: Protect in-kernel ioctl calls with mutex · feb68902
    Takashi Iwai authored
    ALSA OSS sequencer calls the ioctl function indirectly via
    snd_seq_kernel_client_ctl().  While we already applied the protection
    against races between the normal ioctls and writes via the client's
    ioctl_mutex, this code path was left untouched.  And this seems to be
    the cause of still remaining some rare UAF as spontaneously triggered
    by syzkaller.
    
    For the sake of robustness, wrap the ioctl_mutex also for the call via
    snd_seq_kernel_client_ctl(), too.
