ALSA: 6fire: Release resources at card release

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.28% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 0df7f4b5cc10f5adf98be0845372e9eef7bb5b09, 273eec23467dfbfbd0e4c10302579ba441fb1e13, 57860a80f03f9dc69a34a5c37b0941ad032a0a8c; cbl2 kernel 5.15.173.1-2 on CBL Mariner 2.0 5.15.176.3-1.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 0df7f4b5cc10f5adf98be0845372e9eef7bb5b09, 273eec23467dfbfbd0e4c10302579ba441fb1e13, 57860a80f03f9dc69a34a5c37b0941ad032a0a8c; cbl2 kernel 5.15.173.1-2 on CBL Mariner 2.0 5.15.176.3-1 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: 6fire: Release resources at card release The current 6fire code tries to release the resources right after the call of usb6fire_chip_abort(). But at this moment, the card object might be still in use (as we're calling snd_card_free_when_closed()). For avoid potential UAFs, move the release of resources to the card's private_free instead of the manual call of usb6fire_chip_destroy() at the USB disconnect callback.

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.
