In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: gadget: f_midi2: fix use-after-free in string attribute show path

f_midi2_opts_str_show() takes the string lock internally, but its callers dereference the opts->info. pointer before calling it, outside the lock. This races with f_midi2_opts_str_store(), which frees the old string under opts->lock when the attribute is written concurrently, the show path can read a pointer that gets freed before the lock inside str_show() is even taken.

Change f_midi2_opts_str_show() to take a pointer to the string field, matching the existing pattern in f_midi2_opts_str_store(), and dereference it only after the lock is held. Update all three callers (iface_name, block name, and the EP string option macro) accordingly.

No fix is confirmed yet. Restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation within your standard update timelines at low or medium mission impact and sooner than that at high, and watch the vendor's advisory for the fix.

Exploitation none (no KEV listing, exploit record or EPSS ≥ 50%) · Automatable unknown (not published for this CVE) · Technical impact partial (CVSS below 9.0). Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it: high means the affected system is essential to your organisation's mission, or its compromise could cause irreversible harm to people.
