## Abstract
While there is a large body of work on analyzing concurrency related
software bugs and developing techniques for detecting and patching
them, little attention has been given to concurrency related security
vulnerabilities. The two are different in that not all bugs are
vulnerabilities: for a bug to be exploitable, there needs be a way for
attackers to trigger its execution and cause damage, e.g., by
revealing sensitive data or running malicious code.
To fill the gap, we conduct the first empiri

CVE-2016-2545 kernel: sound: use-after-free in snd_timer_interrupt
ALSA timer instance object has a couple of linked lists and they are unlinked unconditionally at snd_timer_stop(). Meanwhile snd_timer_interrupt() unlinks it, but it calls list_del() which leaves the element list itself unchanged. This ends up with unlinking twice, and it was caught by syzkaller fuzzer.
