Use after free in SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM in Linux Kernel

A memory vulnerability in the Linux Kernel's ALSA audio system allows an attacker with basic user privileges to access and modify memory that has already been freed, potentially gaining full system control (root access).

A use-after-free vulnerability in SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_{READ|WRITE}32 ioctl handlers lacks proper synchronization, allowing a local unprivileged user to trigger a race condition and access freed kernel memory. Successful exploitation leads to arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges (ring0), enabling privilege escalation from user to root.
