CVE-2026-74642

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel's ALSA USB driver, there is a use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability in delayed release of MIDI2 endpoints. The previous fix for UAF in ump_to_endpoint() causes another UAF because it tries to dereference the UMP endpoint object, which may already be released in a delayed context. The fix adds private_free to clear associated data.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability can lead to system crashes or potentially arbitrary code execution in the kernel. It requires access to MIDI devices, but the risk is severe.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch that adds private_free to clear the data. Also restrict access to MIDI devices.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb: Fix UAF at delayed release of MIDI2 EPs The recent fix for UAF in ump_to_endpoint() caused another UAF because it tries to dereference the UMP endpoint object, but this might be executed at a delayed context where the endpoint has been already released. Add private_free to clear the associated data for avoiding the further dereference for delayed releases.
