AI-suggested

A patch is available and has been applied in Linux kernel versions 7.0.0-1012.12~24.04.1 and later. Users should update to these fixed kernel versions to remediate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official fix.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel ALSA us144mkii driver causes corruption of the USB anchor list due to redundant usb_anchor_urb() calls on each URB completion callback. This leads to a use-after-free condition when the corrupted list is traversed during stream stop, suspend, or disconnect operations. The issue has been fixed by removing the redundant usb_anchor_urb() call from the resubmit path.
