Description
In the Linux kernel before 5.3.11, sound/core/timer.c has a use-after-free caused by erroneous code refactoring, aka CID-e7af6307a8a5. This is related to snd_timer_open and snd_timer_close_locked. The timeri variable was originally intended to be for a newly created timer instance, but was used for a different purpose after refactoring.
A memory flaw was found in the ALSA subsystem of the Linux kernel. The struct snd_timer_instance function fails the timer->max_instances check leading to an invalid address. This could lead to a use-after-free vulnerability.
