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. The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-89736 to this issue.

Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/usb/gadget/function/u_audio.c Mitigation ========== The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this issue can be found at these commits: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c74ff0b1a0fca53d3ac185873c87d6a719b30a47 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4e747c864a88537e18b1ffc19a1954c9686bb8e1 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/79a92896e2bb9471550c56fc23d8d93592f04c27 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/858965947081d10d41d9a1010a540d3d5eea958b
