CVE-2026-74639
What it is
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: us144mkii: re-anchor capture URBs on resubmission capture_urb_complete() resubmits each capture URB without anchoring it: usb_get_urb(urb); ret = usb_submit_urb(urb, GFP_ATOMIC); Anchoring is a property of a submission, not of the URB. The giveback path calls usb_unanchor_urb() before urb->complete(), so an URB resubmitted from its own completion handler is off the anchor. The capture URBs are anchored once, at stream start, so from the first completion onward tascam->capture_anchor is empty. tascam_free_urbs(), tascam_disconnect(), tascam_suspend() and the stop-work path all call usb_kill_anchored_urbs(&tascam->capture_anchor) to reap the capture URBs before anything is freed. With the anchor empty those calls return immediately and the URBs stay queued on the host controller. tascam_free_urbs() then returns the capture transfer buffers with usb_free_coherent(), and snd_card_free() releases the snd_card allocation that embeds tascam (card->private_data). The controller completes the queued URBs afterwards, writing device-supplied data into the freed transfer buffer, and capture_urb_complete() dereferences the freed driver object. KASAN on 7.2.0-rc5 (arm64): BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in dummy_timer Write of size 512 at addr ffff000015b62000 __asan_memcpy dummy_timer hrtimer_run_softirq Allocated by task 64: usb_alloc_coherent tascam_alloc_urbs tascam_probe Freed by task 170: usb_free_coherent tascam_free_urbs tascam_disconnect usb_unbind_interface BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in capture_urb_complete Read of size 4 at addr ffff0000170ee878 Freed by task 170: release_card_device snd_card_free tascam_disconnect Restore the usb_anchor_urb() between the reference count bump and the resubmission. That also makes the handler's usb_unanchor_urb() failure arm meaningful again and restores usb_kill_anchored_urbs() as a barrier on the disconnect, suspend and stop-work paths. The anchoring was removed on the premise that the URB is already anchored from the initial submission, which does not hold once the first giveback has run.
