ALSA: seq: Fix racy access for queue timer in proc read
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 60adcfde92fa40fcb2dbf7cc52f9b096e0cd109a upstream.

snd_seq_info_timer_read() reads the information of the timer assigned
for each queue, but it's done in a racy way which may lead to UAF as
spotted by syzkaller.

This patch applies the missing q->timer_mutex lock while accessing the
timer object as well as a slight code change to adapt the standard
coding style.
