commit 4fb44dd2c1dda18606348acdfdb97e8759dde9df upstream. In snd_sb_qsound_build, snd_ctl_add(..,p->qsound_switch...) and snd_ctl_add(..,p->qsound_space..) are called. But the second arguments of snd_ctl_add() could be freed via snd_ctl_add_replace() ->snd_ctl_free_one(). After the error code is returned, snd_sb_qsound_destroy(p) is called in __error branch. But in snd_sb_qsound_destroy(), the freed p->qsound_switch and p->qsound_space are still used by snd_ctl_remove(). My patch set p->qsound_switch and p->qsound_space to NULL if snd_ctl_add() failed to avoid the uaf bugs. But these codes need to further be improved with the code style.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
