Subject: ALSA: seq: Don't allow resizing pool in use
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c96a7302975ce043f565c9ce2359794e1397488c;p=pandora-kernel.git

ALSA: seq: Don't allow resizing pool in use

commit d85739367c6d56e475c281945c68fdb05ca74b4c upstream.

This is a fix for a (sort of) fallout in the recent commit
d15d662e89fc ("ALSA: seq: Fix racy pool initializations") for
CVE-2018-1000004.
As the pool resize deletes the existing cells, it may lead to a race
when another thread is writing concurrently, eventually resulting a
UAF.

A simple workaround is not to allow the pool resizing when the pool is
in use.  It's an invalid behavior in anyway.
