[patch added to 3.12-stable] ALSA: seq: Fix missing NULL check at remove_events ioctl

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 030e2c78d3a91dd0d27fef37e91950dde333eba1 upstream.

snd_seq_ioctl_remove_events() calls snd_seq_fifo_clear()
unconditionally even if there is no FIFO assigned, and this leads to
an Oops due to NULL dereference.  The fix is just to add a proper NULL
check.
