    ALSA: seq: Add sanity check for user-space pointer delivery · 19b592da
    Takashi Iwai authored
    The sequencer event may contain a user-space pointer with its
    SNDRV_SEQ_EXT_USRPTR bit, and we assure that its delivery is limited
    with non-atomic mode.  Otherwise the copy_from_user() may hit the
    fault and cause a problem.  Although the core code doesn't set such a
    flag (only set at snd_seq_write()), any wild driver may set it
    mistakenly and lead to an unexpected crash.
    
    This patch adds a sanity check of such events at the delivery core
    code to filter out the invalid invocation in the atomic mode.
