AZL-100503

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: bcd2000: clear the URB pointers on disconnect

bcd2000_free_usb_related_resources() frees both URBs and leaves the pointers behind:

usb_kill_urb(bcd2k->midi_out_urb);
usb_kill_urb(bcd2k->midi_in_urb);

usb_free_urb(bcd2k->midi_out_urb);
usb_free_urb(bcd2k->midi_in_urb);

The rawmidi device outlives that call. A substream that is still open when the device is unplugged reaches bcd2000_midi_send() from the trigger path on close. That function writes to the freed URB and then hands it to the USB core:

bcd2k->midi_out_urb->transfer_buffer_length = BUFSIZE;
...
ret = usb_submit_urb(bcd2k->midi_out_urb, GFP_ATOMIC);

usb_kill_urb() does not stop a later submission either, so a submit that races the disconnect can requeue the URB after it has been reaped. midi_in_urb is exposed the same way: bcd2000_input_complete() resubmits it from the completion handler.

KASAN on 7.2.0-rc5 (arm64):

Clear both pointers after freeing and test them on the paths that can still run. Poison the URBs before freeing them: usb_poison_urb() waits for a running completion handler and rejects any later submission, so after it returns the input path is quiesced and only the rawmidi trigger path can still reach bcd2000_midi_send(). No unpoison is needed; the URBs are freed on the next line.
