Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Kill timer properly at removal
The USB-audio MIDI code initializes the timer, but in a rare case, the
driver might be freed without the disconnect call. This leaves the
timer in an active state while the assigned object is released via
snd_usbmidi_free(), which ends up with a kernel warning when the debug
configuration is enabled, as spotted by fuzzer.
For avoiding the problem, put timer_shutdown_sync() at
snd_usbmidi_free(), so that the timer can be killed properly.
While we're at it, replace the existing timer_delete_sync() at the
disconnect callback with timer_shutdown_sync(), too.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.14 < 6.6.111)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.52)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.15.3)
