Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31581)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in usb6fire_chip_abort() in the ALSA 6fire USB driver when handling device disconnect. A local user can trigger a device disconnect to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs because the card private data may be freed synchronously when no file handles are open, after which the code accesses the freed chip structure.
