Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: ump: fix double free of out_cvts on rawmidi error
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2026 14:16:33 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260726051633.41206-1-baul.lee@xbow.com> (raw)

snd_ump_attach_legacy_rawmidi() allocates the legacy conversion array
ump->out_cvts and, on the snd_rawmidi_new() error path, frees it with
kfree() but leaves ump->out_cvts pointing at the freed memory.  When the
endpoint is later torn down, snd_ump_endpoint_free() frees ump->out_cvts
a second time, resulting in a double free.

The host snd-usb-audio driver attaches the legacy rawmidi for any USB
MIDI 2.0 (UMP) device, so a device that makes snd_rawmidi_new() fail
reaches this path on enumeration.

Clear ump->out_cvts after freeing it on the error path so it is not
freed again during teardown.
