The patch ASoC: soc-core: fix init platform memory handling has been applied to the asoc tree at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 09ac6a817bd687e7f5dac00470262efdd72f9319 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Curtis Malainey <cujomalainey@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2019 16:21:04 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: soc-core: fix init platform memory handling snd_soc_init_platform initializes pointers to snd_soc_dai_link which is statically allocated and it does this by devm_kzalloc. In the event of an EPROBE_DEFER the memory will be freed and the pointers are left dangling. snd_soc_init_platform sees the dangling pointers and assumes they are pointing to initialized memory and does not reallocate them on the second probe attempt which results in a use after free bug since devm has freed the memory from the first probe attempt. Since the intention for snd_soc_dai_link->platform is that it can be set statically by the machine driver we need to respect the pointer in the event we did not set it but still catch dangling pointers. The solution is to add a flag to track whether the pointer was dynamically allocated or not.
