In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: ump: fix double free of out_cvts on rawmidi error 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. Discovered by XBOW, triaged by Baul Lee <[email protected]> A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) Universal MIDI Packet (UMP) driver. This vulnerability, a double free error, occurs when handling legacy raw MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) conversions. Specifically, an error during the initialization of a USB MIDI 2.0 device can cause memory to be freed twice. This can lead to memory corruption or a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
