CVE-2023-54308

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: ymfpci: Create card with device-managed snd_devm_card_new() snd_card_ymfpci_remove() was removed in commit c6e6bb5eab74 ("ALSA: ymfpci: Allocate resources with device-managed APIs"), but the call to snd_card_new() was not replaced with snd_devm_card_new(). Since there was no longer a call to snd_card_free, unloading the module would eventually result in Oops: [697561.532887] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc0924480 [697561.532893] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode [697561.532896] #PF: er...
