Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ALSA: usb: hiface: Avoid embedded URBs
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 16:56:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903145648.1914352-3-tiwai@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903145648.1914352-1-tiwai@suse.de>
The hiface driver uses URBs embedded in struct pcm_urb, and this is
basically a buggy implementation nowadays; since a URB is managed with
a refcount, this may lead to a UAF when the URB is released
asynchronously.
For addressing the problem, this patch converts the embedded URBs to
ones that are properly allocated via usb_alloc_urb().
The conversion is rather straightforward; pcm_urb.instance became a
pointer, assigned/freed via usb_alloc_urb() and usb_free_urb(), and
the call with this is corrected accordingly.
No functional changes, only compile-tested.
