+Subject: ALSA: seq/oss - Fix double-free at error path of snd_seq_oss_open()
+X-Git-Url: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Ftorvalds%2Flinux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=27f7ad53829f79e799a253285318bff79ece15bd

+ALSA: seq/oss - Fix double-free at error path of snd_seq_oss_open()
+
+The error handling in snd_seq_oss_open() has several bad codes that
+do dereferecing released pointers and double-free of kmalloc'ed data.
+The object dp is release in free_devinfo() that is called via
+private_free callback.  The rest shouldn't touch this object any more.
+
+The patch changes delete_port() to call kfree() in any case, and gets
+rid of unnecessary calls of destructors in snd_seq_oss_open().
+
+Fixes CVE-2010-3080.
