4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]> commit ba3021b2c79b2fa9114f92790a99deb27a65b728 upstream. snd_timer_user_tselect() reallocates the queue buffer dynamically, but it forgot to reset its indices. Since the read may happen concurrently with ioctl and snd_timer_user_tselect() allocates the buffer via kmalloc(), this may lead to the leak of uninitialized kernel-space data, as spotted via KMSAN: BUG: KMSAN: use of unitialized memory in snd_timer_user_read+0x6c4/0xa10 CPU: 0 PID: 1037 Comm: probe Not tainted 4.11.0-rc5+ #2739 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Call Trace: __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:16 dump_stack+0x143/0x1b0 lib/dump_stack.c:52 kmsan_report+0x12a/0x180 mm/kmsan/kmsan.c:1007 kmsan_check_memory+0xc2/0x140 mm/kmsan/kmsan.c:1086 copy_to_user ./arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:725 snd_timer_user_read+0x6c4/0xa10 sound/core/timer.c:2004 do_loop_readv_writev fs/read_write.c:716 __do_readv_writev+0x94c/0x1380 fs/read_write.c:864 do_readv_writev fs/read_write.c:894 vfs_readv fs/read_write.c:908 do_readv+0x52a/0x5d0 fs/read_write.c:934 SYSC_readv+0xb6/0xd0 fs/read_write.c:1021 SyS_readv+0x87/0xb0 fs/read_write.c:1018 This patch adds the missing reset of queue indices. Together with the previous fix for the ioctl/read race, we cover the whole problem.
