Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: core: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in snd_timer_proc_read()
Date:   Wed, 24 Jul 2019 20:13:27 +0800
Message-Id: <20190724121327.9894-1-baijiaju1990@gmail.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

In snd_timer_proc_read(), there is an if statement on line 1204 to check
whether timer->card is NULL:
    if (timer->card && timer->card->shutdown)

When timer->card is NULL, it is used on lines 1212 and 1215:
    timer->card->number

Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.

To fix these bugs, timer->card is checked before being used.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
