[ 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.

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.
