[ Note: this is a fix that works around the bug equivalently as the two upstream commits: 1fa4445f9adf ("ALSA: control - introduce snd_ctl_notify_one() helper") 56b88b50565c ("ALSA: pcm: Move rwsem lock inside snd_ctl_elem_read to prevent UAF") but in a simpler way to fit with older stable trees -- tiwai ]
Add missing locking in ctl_elem_read_user/ctl_elem_write_user which can be easily triggered and turned into an use-after-free.
Example code paths with SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_READ:
64-bits: snd_ctl_ioctl snd_ctl_elem_read_user [takes controls_rwsem] snd_ctl_elem_read [lock properly held, all good] [drops controls_rwsem]
32-bits (compat): snd_ctl_ioctl_compat snd_ctl_elem_write_read_compat ctl_elem_write_read snd_ctl_elem_read [missing lock, not good]
CVE-2023-0266 was assigned for this issue.
