Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ALSA: caiaq: fix use-after-free and double-free in setup_card()
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 06:49:40 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413034941.1131465-2-berkcgoksel@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260413034941.1131465-1-berkcgoksel@gmail.com>

When snd_card_register() fails in setup_card(), snd_card_free() is
called on the card, but there is no return statement afterwards.
Execution falls through to snd_usb_caiaq_control_init(cdev), which
dereferences members of the just-freed card, resulting in a
use-after-free.

setup_card() is void and init_card() still returns 0 on this path,
so snd_probe() leaves the freed card pointer in the USB interface's
private data via usb_set_intfdata(). When the device is later
disconnected, snd_usb_caiaq_disconnect() calls
snd_card_free_when_closed() on that same pointer, producing a
double-free and slab corruption.

Add the missing return so a failed snd_card_register() cleanly
aborts setup without touching freed memory.

The issue is reachable by any caiaq-compatible USB device whose
descriptors cause snd_card_register() to fail. It was reproduced
with raw-gadget + dummy_hcd on 7.0.0-rc5 (arm64, KASAN).
