Descriptions

Double free vulnerability in the snd_usbmidi_create function in sound/usb/midi.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5 allows physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors involving an invalid USB descriptor.

Vulnerabilidad de liberación doble en la función snd_usbmidi_create en sound/usb/midi.c en el kernel de Linux en versiones anteriores a 4.5 permite a atacantes físicamente próximos causar una denegación de servicio (pánico) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de vectores que implican un descriptor USB inválido.

A flaw was found in the USB-MIDI Linux kernel driver: a double-free error could be triggered for the 'umidi' object. An attacker with physical access to the system could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.
