CVE-2026-74387

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: seq: midi: Serialize output teardown with event_input

event_process_midi() borrows msynth->output_rfile.output and then
passes the substream to dump_midi() and snd_rawmidi_kernel_write()
without synchronizing with the output open/close transition.
midisynth_use() also publishes output_rfile before
snd_rawmidi_output_params() has finished.

The last midisynth_unuse() can therefore release the same rawmidi file
and free substream->runtime before snd_rawmidi_kernel_write1() takes
its runtime buffer reference. That leaves the event_input path using a
stale substream or runtime and can end in a NULL-deref or use-after-free.

Fix this with two pieces of synchronization. Keep a short IRQ-safe
spinlock only for publishing or clearing output_rfile and for pairing
the output snapshot with an snd_use_lock_t reference. Once
event_process_midi() has taken that in-flight reference, it drops the
spinlock before calling snd_seq_dump_var_event(), dump_midi(), or
snd_rawmidi_kernel_write(). midisynth_unuse() now detaches the visible
rawmidi file under the same spinlock, waits for the in-flight writers
to drain, and only then drains and releases the saved file.
midisynth_use() likewise opens into a local snd_rawmidi_file and
publishes it only after snd_rawmidi_output_params() succeeds.

The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the
order within that path:

event_input path:                     last unuse path:
1. event_process_midi() snapshots    1. midisynth_unuse() starts
   output_rfile.output.                 tearing down output_rfile.
2. dump_midi() reaches               2. snd_rawmidi_kernel_release()
   snd_rawmidi_kernel_write()           closes the output file.
   before runtime is pinned.         3. close_substream() frees
3. The callback keeps using             substream->runtime.
   the borrowed substream.
