[01/11] ALSA: seq/oss - Fix double-free at error path of snd_seq_oss_open()

From: Greg KH
Date: Sat Sep 18 2010 - 14:49:00 EST


2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit 27f7ad53829f79e799a253285318bff79ece15bd upstream.

The error handling in snd_seq_oss_open() has several bad codes that
do dereferecing released pointers and double-free of kmalloc'ed data.
The object dp is release in free_devinfo() that is called via
private_free callback. The rest shouldn't touch this object any more.

The patch changes delete_port() to call kfree() in any case, and gets
rid of unnecessary calls of destructors in snd_seq_oss_open().

Fixes CVE-2010-3080.
