Our code analyzer reported a uaf. In snd_emu8000_create_mixer, the callee snd_ctl_add(..,emu->controls[i]) calls snd_ctl_add_replace(.., kcontrol,..). Inside snd_ctl_add_replace(), if error happens, kcontrol will be freed by snd_ctl_free_one(kcontrol). Then emu->controls[i] points to a freed memory, and the execution comes to __error branch of snd_emu8000_create_mixer. The freed emu->controls[i] is used in snd_ctl_remove(card, emu->controls[i]). My patch set emu->controls[i] to NULL if snd_ctl_add() failed to avoid the uaf.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
