From 777e779591d10f4908361a439f4822aa0143470b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Clemens Ladisch Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2010 12:06:18 +0200 Subject: ALSA: rawmidi: fix oops (use after free) when unloading a driver module commit aa73aec6c385e2c797ac25cc7ccf0318031de7c8 upstream. When a driver module is unloaded and the last still open file is a raw MIDI device, the card and its devices will be actually freed in the snd_card_file_remove() call when that file is closed. Afterwards, rmidi and rmidi->card point into freed memory, so the module pointer is likely to be garbage. (This was introduced by commit 9a1b64caac82aa02cb74587ffc798e6f42c6170a.)
