Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ALSA: compress: fix buffer leak on repeated SET_PARAMS
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 16:25:06 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007132509.18237-2-peter.ujfalusi@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261007132509.18237-1-peter.ujfalusi@linux.intel.com>
snd_compr_allocate_buffer() unconditionally overwrites
stream->runtime->buffer with a freshly kmalloc'd buffer whenever the
driver has no ops->copy and no preallocated dma_buffer_p. SET_PARAMS
is permitted repeatedly while the stream is in the OPEN state, so a
local process can loop SNDRV_COMPRESS_SET_PARAMS and leak the
previous buffer on every call, exhausting kernel memory.
Free any framework-owned buffer before replacing it, mirroring the
ownership check already used in snd_compr_free().
Fixes: b21c60a4edd2 ("ALSA: core: add support for compress_offload")
