A double-free leads to kernel structure/list/slab corruptions and shortly to null-deref, GPF or lockup. 2.1) Let me describe what happens with the current code in usb_audio_probe(), create_fixed_stream_quirk() and snd_usb_add_audio_stream(): > [ sound/usb/card.c ] > static int usb_audio_probe(struct usb_interface *intf, > const struct usb_device_id *usb_id) > { > ... > if (quirk && quirk->ifnum != QUIRK_NO_INTERFACE) { > /* need some special handlings */ > err = snd_usb_create_quirk(chip, intf, &usb_audio_driver, quirk); > if (err < 0) > goto __error; > } > ... > __error: > if (chip) { > if (!chip->num_interfaces) > snd_card_free(chip->card); Somewhere in the middle of usb_audio_probe() the function snd_usb_create_quirk() is called, and if it returns with an error and no interfaces were created, the sound card is destroyed with "snd_card_free(chip->card)". 2.2) create_fixed_stream_quirk() is called from snd_usb_create_quirk(): > [ sound/usb/quirks.c ] > static int create_fixed_stream_quirk(struct snd_usb_audio *chip, > struct usb_interface *iface, > struct usb_driver *driver, > const struct snd_usb_audio_quirk *quirk) > { > struct audioformat *fp; > struct usb_host_interface *alts; > struct usb_interface_descriptor *altsd; > ... > fp = kmemdup(quirk->data, sizeof(*fp), GFP_KERNEL); > ... > (*) stream = (fp->endpoint & USB_DIR_IN) > (*) ? SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_CAPTURE : SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_PLAYBACK; > (*) err = snd_usb_add_audio_stream(chip, stream, fp); > (*) if (err < 0) > (*) goto error; > > if (fp->iface != get_iface_desc(&iface->altsetting[0])->bInterfaceNumber || > fp->altset_idx >= iface->num_altsetting) { > err = -EINVAL; > goto error; > } > alts = &iface->altsetting[fp->altset_idx]; > altsd = get_iface_desc(alts); > if (altsd->bNumEndpoints < 1) { > err = -EINVAL; > goto error; > } > ... > error: > kfree(fp); > kfree(rate_table); > return err; > } 2.3) *fp is allocated and passed to snd_usb_add_audio_stream() where snd_usb_init_substream() is called: > [ sound/usb/stream.c ] > int snd_usb_add_audio_stream(struct snd_usb_audio *chip, > int stream, > struct audioformat *fp) > { > struct snd_usb_stream *as; > struct snd_usb_substream *subs; > struct snd_pcm *pcm; > ... > /* create a new pcm */ > as = kzalloc(sizeof(*as), GFP_KERNEL); > ... > snd_usb_init_substream(as, stream, fp); 2.4) In turn snd_usb_init_substream() adds audioformat *fp by its &fp->list to substream's fmt_list list: > [ sound/usb/stream.c ] > static void snd_usb_init_substream(struct snd_usb_stream *as, > int stream, > struct audioformat *fp) > { > struct snd_usb_substream *subs = &as->substream[stream]; > > INIT_LIST_HEAD(&subs->fmt_list); > ... > list_add_tail(&fp->list, &subs->fmt_list); > subs->num_formats++; 2.5) Things go bad from this point in case snd_usb_add_audio_stream() or the caller go the error path. The bug is that the caller frees (see "error: kfree(fp);" code) *fp on the error path, BUT the pointer to the already-freed memory remains in the substream's fmt_list list. The double-free happens after create_fixed_stream_quirk() returns with an error and usb_audio_probe() calls snd_card_free()->...->snd_usb_audio_pcm_free()->free_substream(). As subs->fmt_list is already corrupted, iterating it with list_for_each_entry_safe() leads to any and unpredictable results. > static void free_substream(struct snd_usb_substream *subs) > { > struct audioformat *fp, *n; > ... > list_for_each_entry_safe(fp, n, &subs->fmt_list, list) { > ... > kfree(fp); 3.1) The crash is reproduceable by faking the USB device with no endpoints as described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1283355 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1283358. Please see as a proof the following kernel log with debug printing added to the code.

First, I suppose we should move the code in create_fixed_stream_quirk() marked as "(*)" (see above) after "if (altsd->bNumEndpoints < 1)" check. This way no allocations is done if we go an error path. I've checked that fp->iface and fp->altset_idx are not changed in snd_usb_add_audio_stream() and functions called from it, so it is safe to swap these 2 pieces of code. 4.2) The problem with double-free still remains. I've verified that all the callers of snd_usb_add_audio_stream() free *fp in case of error: $ git grep snd_usb_add_audio_stream sound/usb/quirks.c: err = snd_usb_add_audio_stream(chip, stream, fp); > * err = snd_usb_add_audio_stream(chip, stream, fp); > * if (err < 0) > * goto error; > * error: > * kfree(fp); > * kfree(rate_table); > * return err; sound/usb/quirks.c: err = snd_usb_add_audio_stream(chip, stream, fp); > * err = snd_usb_add_audio_stream(chip, stream, fp); > * if (err < 0) { > * kfree(fp); > * return err; > * } sound/usb/stream.c: err = snd_usb_add_audio_stream(chip, stream, fp); > * err = snd_usb_add_audio_stream(chip, stream, fp); > * if (err < 0) { > * kfree(fp->rate_table); > * kfree(fp->chmap); > * kfree(fp); > * return err; > * } This means that snd_usb_add_audio_stream() should remove *fp from the substream's fmt_list list on the error path, if it was already added. Such places are: > int snd_usb_add_audio_stream(struct snd_usb_audio *chip, int stream, struct audioformat *fp) > { > struct snd_usb_stream *as; > struct snd_usb_substream *subs; > struct snd_pcm *pcm; > int err; > > list_for_each_entry(as, &chip->pcm_list, list) { > subs = &as->substream[stream]; > ... > list_add_tail(&fp->list, &subs->fmt_list); <<< ADDING fp HERE > subs->num_formats++; > return 0; <<< NO ERROR PATH HERE > } > } > > /* look for an empty stream */ > list_for_each_entry(as, &chip->pcm_list, list) { > subs = &as->substream[stream]; > ... > snd_usb_init_substream(as, stream, fp); <<< ADDING fp HERE, IF add_chmap() FAILS > return add_chmap(as->pcm, stream, subs); <<< fp SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM fmt_list > } > > /* create a new pcm */ > as = kzalloc(sizeof(*as), GFP_KERNEL); > err = snd_pcm_new(chip->card, "USB Audio", chip->pcm_devs, > ... > if (err < 0) { <<< fp IS NOT ADDED YET HERE, SO FINE > kfree(as); > return err; > } > ... > snd_usb_init_substream(as, stream, fp); <<< ADDING fp HERE > ... <<< IF add_chmap() FAILS fp SHOULD > return add_chmap(pcm, stream, &as->substream[stream]); <<< BE REMOVED FROM fmt_list > } add_chmap() itself does not add anything to fmt_list list, so we indeed need to remove only the single list element from the list. Having all the above in mind, the patch follows. 4.3) How to handle possible error paths after successful call to snd_usb_add_audio_stream() in create_fixed_stream_quirk() is d iscussable. Properly it should be like the below, but I believe it is overcomplication here would and stick to a simple error_after_add_audio_stream: label: > error2: > snd_usb_del_audio_stream(...something...); > error: > kfree(fp); > kfree(rate_table); > return err; Best regards, Vladis Dronov | Red Hat, Inc. | Product Security Engineer
