ALSA: usb-audio: Fix UAF decrement if card has no live interfaces in card.c
If a USB sound card reports 0 interfaces, an error condition is triggered and the function usb_audio_probe errors out. In the error path, there was a use-after-free vulnerability where the memory object of the card was first freed, followed by a decrement of the number of active chips. Moving the decrement above the atomic_dec fixes the UAF. [ The original problem was introduced in 3.1 kernel, while it was developed in a different form. The Fixes tag below indicates the original commit but it doesn't mean that the patch is applicable cleanly. -- tiwai ] Fixes: 362e4e49 ("ALSA: usb-audio - clear chip->probing on error exit") Reported-by: Hui Peng <benquike@gmail.com> Reported-by: Mathias Payer <mathias.payer@nebelwelt.net> Signed-off-by: Hui Peng <benquike@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Mathias Payer <mathias.payer@nebelwelt.net> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
