Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ALSA: usb-audio: Kill timer properly at removal<br />
<br />
The USB-audio MIDI code initializes the timer, but in a rare case, the<br />
driver might be freed without the disconnect call. This leaves the<br />
timer in an active state while the assigned object is released via<br />
snd_usbmidi_free(), which ends up with a kernel warning when the debug<br />
configuration is enabled, as spotted by fuzzer.<br />
<br />
For avoiding the problem, put timer_shutdown_sync() at<br />
snd_usbmidi_free(), so that the timer can be killed properly.<br />
While we&#39;re at it, replace the existing timer_delete_sync() at the<br />
disconnect callback with timer_shutdown_sync(), too.
