4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit 01c0b4265cc16bc1f43f475c5944c55c10d5768f upstream. snd_pcm_oss_get_formats() has an obvious use-after-free around snd_mask_test() calls, as spotted by syzbot. The passed format_mask argument is a pointer to the hw_params object that is freed before the loop. What a surprise that it has been present since the original code of decades ago...
