Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: fix race condition to UAF in snd_usbmidi_free
Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2025 13:41:06 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250927044106.849247-1-aha310510@gmail.com> (raw)
The previous commit 0718a78f6a9f ("ALSA: usb-audio: Kill timer properly at
removal") patched a UAF issue caused by the error timer.
However, because the error timer kill added in this patch occurs after the
endpoint delete, a race condition to UAF still occurs, albeit rarely.
Therefore, to prevent this, the error timer must be killed before freeing
the heap memory.
