      <title>CVE-2026-72443 — ALSA: usb-audio: Kill MIDI 2.0 URBs before freeing endpoints</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-72443</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ALSA: usb-audio: Kill MIDI 2.0 URBs before freeing endpoints&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MIDI 2.0 input URBs are started during snd_usb_midi_v2_create(). A
later setup failure can still jump to snd_usb_midi_v2_free(), which
currently frees each endpoint and its coherent URB buffers without first
stopping the submitted URBs. A completion can then dereference the
embedded URB context and endpoint state after they have been freed, or
try to resubmit from the stale endpoint.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was observed as a KASAN slab-use-after-free in
input_urb_complete().&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;probe error path:                         USB completion path:
1. start_input_streams() submits          1. The HCD still owns a
   input URBs.                               submitted input URB.
2. A later setup helper returns           2. input_urb_complete() runs
   an error.                                 with urb-&amp;gt;context in ep.
3. snd_usb_midi_v2_free() frees           3. The completion reads ep
   endpoint storage and URB buffers.         state and can requeue URBs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make the endpoint destructor follow the same teardown ordering used for
disconnect when the endpoint has not already been disconnected: publish
ep-&amp;gt;disconnected, kill the URBs synchronously, and drain the endpoint
before freeing URB buffers and endpoint storage. The guard avoids
repeating the stop sequence after the normal
