In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: u_audio: Fix use-after-free on sound card disconnect
g_audio_cleanup() invokes snd_card_free_when_closed() to initiate sound
card teardown and immediately frees the underlying struct snd_uac_chip
context. However, snd_card_free_when_closed() returns asynchronously
while ALSA control elements (kctls) remain open in userspace.
When userspace control applications access or close these open file
descriptors, kctl callbacks attempt to dereference kctl->private_data
pointing to &uac->c_prm or &uac->p_prm within the freed uac structure,
resulting in a use-after-free (UAF) memory corruption.
Fix this issue by deferring the destruction of struct snd_uac_chip until
all references to the ALSA sound card are released. Register a custom
card->private_free callback (u_audio_card_free) during g_audio_setup()
that frees uac and its associated playback/capture request and ring
buffers only when the sound card reference count drops to zero.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's USB audio gadget driver (u_audio). This vulnerability occurs during sound card disconnection when Asynchronous Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) control elements (kctls) remain open in userspace. A local attacker can exploit this timing issue by interacting with these kctls, leading to a use-after-free memory corruption. This could potentially result in arbitrary code execution or a denial of service.
