CVE-2026-72443

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb-audio: Kill MIDI 2.0 URBs before freeing endpoints 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. This was observed as a KASAN slab-use-after-free in input_urb_complete(). The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: 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->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. Make the endpoint destructor follow the same teardown ordering used for disconnect when the endpoint has not already been disconnected: publish ep->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 snd_usb_midi_v2_disconnect_all() path, while still synchronizing the direct MIDI 2.0 create-error free path.
