Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-09-04 19:20:44 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: line6: Fix racy access to midibuf

There can be concurrent accesses to line6 midibuf from both the URB
completion callback and the rawmidi API access.  This could be a cause
of KMSAN warning triggered by syzkaller below (so put as reported-by
here).

This patch protects the midibuf call of the former code path with a
spinlock for avoiding the possible races.
