Summary
CVE-2026-89736 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1
Details

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

usb: gadget: u_audio: Fix use-after-free on sound card disconnect

g_audio_cleanup() invokes snd_card_free_when_closed() to initiate sound card teardown and immediately frees the underlying struct snd_uac_chip context. However, snd_card_free_when_closed() returns asynchronously while ALSA control elements (kctls) remain open in userspace.

When userspace control applications access or close these open file descriptors, kctl callbacks attempt to dereference kctl->private_data pointing to &uac->c_prm or &uac->p_prm within the freed uac structure, resulting in a use-after-free (UAF) memory corruption.

Fix this issue by deferring the destruction of struct snd_uac_chip until all references to the ALSA sound card are released. Register a custom card->private_free callback (u_audio_card_free) during g_audio_setup() that frees uac and its associated playback/capture request and ring buffers only when the sound card reference count drops to zero.
