Title
ALSA: timer: fix ida_free call while not allocated
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: timer: fix ida_free call while not allocated In the snd_utimer_create() function, if the kasprintf() function return NULL, snd_utimer_put_id() will be called, finally use ida_free() to free the unallocated id 0. the syzkaller reported the following information: ------------[ cut here ]------------ ida_free called for id=0 which is not allocated.
