CVE-2024-56533 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: usx2y: Use snd_card_free_when_closed() at disconnection

The USB disconnect callback is supposed to be short and not too-long waiting. OTOH the current code uses snd_card_free() at disconnection but this waits for the close of all used fds hence it can take long. It eventually blocks the upper layer USB ioctls which may trigger a soft lockup.

An easy workaround is to replace snd_card_free() with snd_card_free_when_closed(). This variant returns immediately while the release of resources is done asynchronously by the card device release at the last close.
