Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: ymfpci: Create card with device-managed snd_devm_card_new() snd_card_ymfpci_remove() was removed in commit c6e6bb5eab74 ("ALSA: ymfpci: Allocate resources with device-managed APIs"), but the call to snd_card_new() was not replaced with snd_devm_card_new(). Since there was no longer a call to snd_card_free, unloading the module would eventually result in Oops: [697561.532887] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc0924480 [697561.532893] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [697561.532896] #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page [697561.532899] PGD ae1e15067 P4D ae1e15067 PUD ae1e17067 PMD 11a8f5067 PTE 0 [697561.532905] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI [697561.532909] CPU: 21 PID: 5080 Comm: wireplumber Tainted: G W OE 6.2.7 #1 [697561.532914] Hardware name: System manufacturer System Product Name/TUF GAMING X570-PLUS, BIOS 4408 10/28/2022 [697561.532916] RIP: 0010:try_module_get.part.0+0x1a/0xe0 [697561.532924] Code: 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 0f 1f 44 00 00 55 48 89 e5 41 55 41 54 49 89 fc bf 01 00 00 00 e8 56 3c f8 ff <41> 83 3c 24 02 0f 84 96 00 00 00 41 8b 84 24 30 03 00 00 85 c0 0f [697561.532927] RSP: 0018:ffffbe9b858c3bd8 EFLAGS: 00010246 [697561.532930] RAX: ffff9815d14f1900 RBX: ffff9815c14e6000 RCX: 0000000000000000 [697561.532933] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffffffffc055092c RDI: ffffffffb3778c1a [697561.532935] RBP: ffffbe9b858c3be8 R08: 0000000000000040 R09: ffff981a1a741380 [697561.532937] R10: ffffbe9b858c3c80 R11: 00000009d56533a6 R12: ffffffffc0924480 [697561.532939] R13: ffff9823439d8500 R14: 0000000000000025 R15: ffff9815cd109f80 [697561.532942] FS: 00007f13084f1f80(0000) GS:ffff9824aef40000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [697561.532945] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [697561.532947] CR2: ffffffffc0924480 CR3: 0000000145344000 CR4: 0000000000350ee0 [697561.532949] Call Trace: [697561.532951] <TASK> [697561.532955] try_module_get+0x13/0x30 [697561.532960] snd_ctl_open+0x61/0x1c0 [snd] [697561.532976] snd_open+0xb4/0x1e0 [snd] [697561.532989] chrdev_open+0xc7/0x240 [697561.532995] ? fsnotify_perm.part.0+0x6e/0x160 [697561.533000] ? __pfx_chrdev_open+0x10/0x10 [697561.533005] do_dentry_open+0x169/0x440 [697561.533009] vfs_open+0x2d/0x40 [697561.533012] path_openat+0xa9d/0x10d0 [697561.533017] ? debug_smp_processor_id+0x17/0x20 [697561.533022] ? trigger_load_balance+0x65/0x370 [697561.533026] do_filp_open+0xb2/0x160 [697561.533032] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x19/0x40 [697561.533036] ? alloc_fd+0xa9/0x190 [697561.533040] do_sys_openat2+0x9f/0x160 [697561.533044] __x64_sys_openat+0x55/0x90 [697561.533048] do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90 [697561.533052] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x72/0xdc [697561.533056] RIP: 0033:0x7f1308a40db4 [697561.533059] Code: 24 20 eb 8f 66 90 44 89 54 24 0c e8 46 68 f8 ff 44 8b 54 24 0c 44 89 e2 48 89 ee 41 89 c0 bf 9c ff ff ff b8 01 01 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 32 44 89 c7 89 44 24 0c e8 78 68 f8 ff 8b 44 [697561.533062] RSP: 002b:00007ffcce664450 EFLAGS: 00000293 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000101 [697561.533066] RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000003 RCX: 00007f1308a40db4 [697561.533068] RDX: 0000000000080000 RSI: 00007ffcce664690 RDI: 00000000ffffff9c [697561.533070] RBP: 00007ffcce664690 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000012 [697561.533072] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000293 R12: 0000000000080000 [697561.533074] R13: 00007f13054b069b R14: 0000565209f83200 R15: 0000000000000000 [697561.533078] </TASK>
