If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit ac902c112d90a89e59916f751c2745f4dbdbb4bd upstream. Each control gets automatically assigned its numids when the control is created. The allocation is done by incrementing the numid by the amount of allocated numids per allocation. This means that excessive creation and destruction of controls (e.g. via SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_ADD/REMOVE) can cause the id to eventually overflow. Currently when this happens for the control that caused the overflow kctl->id.numid + kctl->count will also over flow causing it to be smaller than kctl->id.numid. Most of the code assumes that this is something that can not happen, so we need to make sure that it won't happen Signed-off-by: Lars-Peter Clausen Acked-by: Jaroslav Kysela Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby --- sound/core/control.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/sound/core/control.c b/sound/core/control.c index d4a597fe86e4..93215b4bec6b 100644 --- a/sound/core/control.c +++ b/sound/core/control.c @@ -289,6 +289,10 @@ static bool snd_ctl_remove_numid_conflict(struct snd_card *card, { struct snd_kcontrol *kctl; + /* Make sure that the ids assigned to the control do not wrap around */ + if (card->last_numid >= UINT_MAX - count) + card->last_numid = 0; + list_for_each_entry(kctl, &card->controls, list) { if (kctl->id.numid < card->last_numid + 1 + count && kctl->id.numid + kctl->count > card->last_numid + 1) { -- 2.0.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
