When either of those later steps fails, the core frees its task wrapper and DMA-buffer references without calling the driver&#39;s task_free() callback. Any driver resources allocated by task_create() are therefore leaked.</p> <p>The dual-fd allocation path also jumps to cleanup without storing the negative get_unused_fd_flags() result in retval. Since retval still contains the successful task_create() return value, TASK_CREATE can incorrectly report success although the task was discarded.</p> <p>Preserve the fd allocation errors and call task_free() when failure occurs after a successful task_create() callback.</p> <p><strong>Affected:</strong> Linux</p> <p>In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:</p> <p>ALSA: compress: Fix task creation error unwind</p> <p>snd_compr_task_new() allocates the driver task before validating the returned DMA buffers and reserving file descriptors.
