Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ALSA: caiaq: fix UAF, double-free, and USB refcount bugs
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 07:59:02 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410045904.1064020-1-berkcgoksel@gmail.com> (raw)
This series fixes two bugs in the caiaq USB sound driver, both
reachable via a malformed or malicious USB device using
raw-gadget + dummy_hcd.
Patch 1 adds a missing return after snd_card_free() in setup_card()
when snd_card_register() fails. Without it, execution falls through
to snd_usb_caiaq_control_init() on a freed card (use-after-free),
and the caller then leaves the freed pointer in usb_set_intfdata(),
producing a double-free on disconnect.
Patch 2 takes a proper reference on the parent USB device in
create_card() with usb_get_dev() and drops it with usb_put_dev()
in the private_free callback. It also removes a usb_reset_device()
call from that callback, which was both racing against an
already-freed usb_device and inappropriate in a teardown path.
A related stack out-of-bounds read in init_card() was sent
separately and has already been applied; this series is the
remainder of that investigation.
Tested on 7.0.0-rc5 arm64 with KASAN and lockdep enabled.
Reproducers require CONFIG_USB_RAW_GADGET and CONFIG_USB_DUMMY_HCD
and are available on request.
