Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 0/2] ALSA: aloop: fix trigger/close UAFs
Date: Tue,  1 Sep 2026 11:13:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901091302.66860-1-kmehltretter@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026050445-connector-rebuff-f713@gregkh>

Backport the two ordered aloop fixes for the trigger/close peer-runtime
races. Both carry Cc: stable and each fixes a separate syzbot-reported
UAF, but neither reached this tree.

826af7fa62e3 ("ALSA: aloop: Fix racy access at PCM trigger") covers the
peer lookup and state checks with cable->lock. e5c33cdc6f40 ("ALSA:
aloop: Fix peer runtime UAF during format-change stop") pins an in-flight
peer stop across snd_pcm_stop(), which still runs after that lock is
dropped, so it applies only on top of the first.

The failed-apply report for this branch named only the second fix.

The series applies to v6.1.186 and v6.1.187-rc1. Patch 1 omits
access-mode support absent from this tree; patch 2 matches the 6.12.y
backport by patch-id. The identical 6.6.y backport is submitted
separately. 6.12.y and newer already contain both fixes.

KASAN/QEMU functional A/B tests passed: 4096 captured frames matched
byte-for-byte; control notifications, mismatch handling, and 32
open/close iterations passed; no KASAN, Oops, or WARNING was reported.
As upstream, a prepared-but-idle capture remains PREPARED when
mismatched playback starts instead of being forced to DRAINING.
