CVE-2023-54308
- Published: 2025-12-30T13:16:19.973
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:
