Use-after-free in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64584

Vulnerability identifier: #VU141272

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.8 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64584

CWE-ID: CWE-416

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the f_midi driver work handler when handling concurrent userspace writes to an open rawmidi substream during device teardown. A local user can write to a rawmidi substream to trigger pending work on a freed midi object and cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because the rawmidi device can remain usable by an open substream after USB endpoints have been disabled and before the final midi object reference is released.
