Summary

In the Linux kernel, the ALSA USB-audio driver for Qualcomm platforms has a vulnerability where the 'opened' flag is not cleared when stream enable fails. If service interval validation fails, the substream remains in a blocked state, preventing its reuse.

Risk Assessment

A local user can block an audio stream, leading to denial of service for applications using audio.

Recommendation

Apply a Linux kernel update containing the fix that clears the 'opened' flag on the stream enable error path.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb-audio: qcom: clear opened when stream enable fails On enable, subs->opened is set before the service_interval is validated; an invalid interval jumps to the response label without clearing it, so the substream is wedged at -EBUSY until a disable or disconnect. Clear subs->opened on the enable error path.
