Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ALSA: caiaq: unregister the input device when probe fails
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 00:07:17 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260925170717.22462-1-ngocthang2710.1999@gmail.com> (raw)
setup_card() registers the input device, whose name and phys point into
struct snd_usb_caiaqdev, and then goes on to snd_card_register() and
snd_usb_caiaq_control_init(). If either fails, snd_probe() calls
snd_card_free(), which frees the device state but leaves the input
device registered: card_free() only clears the pointer, and the input
device is unregistered from snd_disconnect() alone. Reading its "uevent"
attribute afterwards dereferences freed memory:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in string+0x4a9/0x4f0
Read of size 1 at addr ffff8880208f5043 by task caiaq/4967
add_uevent_var+0x183/0x3a0
input_dev_uevent+0x162/0x900
dev_uevent+0x2f1/0x870
uevent_show+0x1ca/0x3a0
...
Unregister the input device on the probe error path, as
snd_disconnect() does. snd_usb_caiaq_input_disconnect() is a no-op when
no input device was registered.
Reproduced with a raw-gadget Audio Kontrol 1 and a temporary hack that
makes snd_usb_caiaq_control_init() fail.
