In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: line6: Clear prev_fbuf on capture buffer release
A KASAN slab-use-after-free read was reported in submit_audio_out_urb()
when generating an impulse test signal:

line6pcm->prev_fbuf points into the capture PCM stream buffer
(line6pcm->in.buffer), which is updated during audio_in_callback() to
feed rate synchronization, software monitoring, and impulse test signal
generation on playback side.
When all capture streams are closed, line6_buffer_release() frees
pstr->buffer with kfree(). However, it does not clear line6pcm->prev_fbuf.
If playback is subsequently started (e.g. via impulse test signal
volume control snd_line6_impulse_volume_put()), submit_audio_out_urb()
dereferences the stale pointer line6pcm->prev_fbuf under in.lock,
resulting in a slab-use-after-free read.
Clear prev_fbuf and prev_fsize in line6_buffer_release() when releasing
the capture stream buffer under in.lock, ensuring that no stale buffer
pointer can be accessed by submit_audio_out_urb().
