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.
