commit 8f22e52528cc372b218b5f100457469615c733ce upstream.

The sequencer virmidi code has an open race at its output trigger
callback: namely, virmidi keeps only one event packet for processing
while it doesn't protect for concurrent output trigger calls.

snd_virmidi_output_trigger() tries to process the previously
unfinished event before starting encoding the given MIDI stream, but
this is done without any lock.  Meanwhile, if another rawmidi stream
starts the output trigger, this proceeds further, and overwrites the
event package that is being processed in another thread.  This
eventually corrupts and may lead to the invalid memory access if the
event type is like SYSEX.

The fix is just to move the spinlock to cover both the pending event
and the new stream.

The bug was spotted by a new fuzzer, RaceFuzzer.

commit 8d218dd8116695ecda7164f97631c069938aa22e upstream.

As Smatch recently suggested, a few places in OSS sequencer codes may
expand the array directly from the user-space value with speculation,
namely there are a significant amount of references to either
info-&gt;ch[] or dp-&gt;synths[] array:

  sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_event.c:315 note_on_event() warn: potential spectre issue 'info-&gt;ch' (local cap)
  sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_event.c:362 note_off_event() warn: potential spectre issue 'info-&gt;ch' (local cap)
  sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_synth.c:470 snd_seq_oss_synth_load_patch() warn: potential spectre issue 'dp-&gt;synths' (local cap)
  sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_event.c:293 note_on_event() warn: potential spectre issue 'dp-&gt;synths'
  sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_event.c:353 note_off_event() warn: potential spectre issue 'dp-&gt;synths'
  sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_synth.c:506 snd_seq_oss_synth_sysex() warn: potential spectre issue 'dp-&gt;synths'
  sound/core/seq/oss/seq_oss_synth.c:580 snd_seq_oss_synth_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue 'dp-&gt;synths'

Although all these seem doing only the first load without further
reference, we may want to stay in a safer side, so hardening with
array_index_nospec() would still make sense.

We may put array_index_nospec() at each place, but here we take a
different approach:

- For dp-&gt;synths[], change the helpers to retrieve seq_oss_synthinfo
  pointer directly instead of the array expansion at each place

- For info-&gt;ch[], harden in a normal way, as there are only a couple
  of places

As a result, the existing helper, snd_seq_oss_synth_is_valid() is
replaced with snd_seq_oss_synth_info().  Also, we cover MIDI device
where a similar array expansion is done, too, although it wasn't
reported by Smatch.

commit f5e94b4c6ebdabe0f602d796e0430180927521a0 upstream.

When get_synthdev() is called for a MIDI device, it returns the fixed
midi_synth_dev without the use refcounting.  OTOH, the caller is
supposed to unreference unconditionally after the usage, so this would
lead to unbalanced refcount.

This patch corrects the behavior and keep up the refcount balance also
for the MIDI synth device.

commit a2ff19f7b70118ced291a28d5313469914de451b upstream.

When releasing a client, we need to clear the clienttab[] entry at
first, then call snd_seq_queue_client_leave().  Otherwise, the
in-flight cell in the queue might be picked up by the timer interrupt
via snd_seq_check_queue() before calling snd_seq_queue_client_leave(),
and it's delivered to another queue while the client is clearing
queues.  This may eventually result in an uncleared cell remaining in
a queue, and the later snd_seq_pool_delete() may need to wait for a
long time until the event gets really processed.

By moving the clienttab[] clearance at the beginning of release, any
event delivery of a cell belonging to this client will fail at a later
point, since snd_seq_client_ptr() returns NULL.  Thus the cell that
was picked up by the timer interrupt will be returned immediately
without further delivery, and the long stall of snd_seq_delete_pool()
can be avoided, too.

<title>ALSA: seq: Fix possible UAF in snd_seq_check_queue()</title>

commit d0f833065221cbfcbadf19fd4102bcfa9330006a upstream.

Although we've covered the races between concurrent write() and
ioctl() in the previous patch series, there is still a possible UAF in
the following scenario:

A: user client closed		B: timer irq
  -&gt; snd_seq_release()		  -&gt; snd_seq_timer_interrupt()
    -&gt; snd_seq_free_client()	    -&gt; snd_seq_check_queue()
				      -&gt; cell = snd_seq_prioq_cell_peek()
      -&gt; snd_seq_prioq_leave()
         .... removing all cells
      -&gt; snd_seq_pool_done()
         .... vfree()
				      -&gt; snd_seq_compare_tick_time(cell)
				         ... Oops

So the problem is that a cell is peeked and accessed without any
protection until it's retrieved from the queue again via
snd_seq_prioq_cell_out().

This patch tries to address it, also cleans up the code by a slight
refactoring.  snd_seq_prioq_cell_out() now receives an extra pointer
argument.  When it's non-NULL, the function checks the event timestamp
with the given pointer.  The caller needs to pass the right reference
either to snd_seq_tick or snd_seq_realtime depending on the event
timestamp type.

A good news is that the above change allows us to remove the
snd_seq_prioq_cell_peek(), too, thus the patch actually reduces the
code size.

commit 7bd80091567789f1c0cb70eb4737aac8bcd2b6b9 upstream.

This patch is an attempt for further hardening against races between
the concurrent write and ioctls.  The previous fix d15d662e89fc
("ALSA: seq: Fix racy pool initializations") covered the race of the
pool initialization at writer and the pool resize ioctl by the
client-&gt;ioctl_mutex (CVE-2018-1000004).  However, basically this mutex
should be applied more widely to the whole write operation for
avoiding the unexpected pool operations by another thread.

The only change outside snd_seq_write() is the additional mutex
argument to helper functions, so that we can unlock / relock the given
mutex temporarily during schedule() call for blocking write.

commit d85739367c6d56e475c281945c68fdb05ca74b4c upstream.

This is a fix for a (sort of) fallout in the recent commit
d15d662e89fc ("ALSA: seq: Fix racy pool initializations") for
CVE-2018-1000004.
As the pool resize deletes the existing cells, it may lead to a race
when another thread is writing concurrently, eventually resulting a
UAF.

A simple workaround is not to allow the pool resizing when the pool is
in use.  It's an invalid behavior in anyway.

commit d15d662e89fc667b90cd294b0eb45694e33144da upstream.

ALSA sequencer core initializes the event pool on demand by invoking
snd_seq_pool_init() when the first write happens and the pool is
empty.  Meanwhile user can reset the pool size manually via ioctl
concurrently, and this may lead to UAF or out-of-bound accesses since
the function tries to vmalloc / vfree the buffer.

A simple fix is to just wrap the snd_seq_pool_init() call with the
recently introduced client-&gt;ioctl_mutex; as the calls for
snd_seq_pool_init() from other side are always protected with this
mutex, we can avoid the race.

<title>ALSA: seq: Make ioctls race-free</title>

commit b3defb791b26ea0683a93a4f49c77ec45ec96f10 upstream.

The ALSA sequencer ioctls have no protection against racy calls while
the concurrent operations may lead to interfere with each other.  As
reported recently, for example, the concurrent calls of setting client
pool with a combination of write calls may lead to either the
unkillable dead-lock or UAF.

As a slightly big hammer solution, this patch introduces the mutex to
make each ioctl exclusive.  Although this may reduce performance via
parallel ioctl calls, usually it's not demanded for sequencer usages,
hence it should be negligible.

<title>ALSA: seq: Remove spurious WARN_ON() at timer check</title>

commit 43a3542870328601be02fcc9d27b09db467336ef upstream.

The use of snd_BUG_ON() in ALSA sequencer timer may lead to a spurious
WARN_ON() when a slave timer is deployed as its backend and a
corresponding master timer stops meanwhile.  The symptom was triggered
by syzkaller spontaneously.

Since the NULL timer is valid there, rip off snd_BUG_ON().
