Se descubrió un problema en el kernel de Linux versiones anteriores a 5.0.10. Se presenta un uso de memoria previamente liberada en el subsistema sound porque la desconexión de la tarjeta hace que ciertas estructuras de datos se eliminen demasiado pronto. Esto está relacionado con los archivos sound/core/init.c y sound/core/info.c.

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s core sound driver code. A use-after-free in a race condition between disconnection events could allow a local attacker who can trigger disconnection events (remove or add hardware) to crash the system, corrupt memory, or escalate privileges.
