This matches AV:L scoring of analogous USB disconnect UAFs (CVE-2025-40283, CVE-2026-64585); physical unplug is only an extra path.\nAC:L - The attacker opens the rawmidi node, optionally enables active sensing, then issues USBDEVFS_DISCONNECT and close; close_substream deterministically writes the freed URB in bcd2000_midi_send(). Concurrent write versus disconnect is also attacker-driven. No uncontrollable race or layout is required to trigger the UAF.\nPR:L - USBDEVFS_DISCONNECT has no capable() check, only write access to /dev/bus/usb that udev uaccess/plugdev rules grant seat users, and snd_rawmidi_open has no capability gate on /dev/snd/midi*. An unprivileged local account suffices; init-namespace root is not required.\nUI:N - The attacker performs open, disconnect, and close on their own fds against an already-attached BCD2000 (DJ workstation/kiosk). No separate victim action such as plugging a device or clicking is required during exploitation.\nS:U - The slab use-after-free of struct urb and the subsequent usb_submit_urb run entirely in the host kernel. This is ordinary local privilege escalation, not a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary escape.\nC:H - KASAN shows a use-after-free read in usb_submit_urb of the dangling midi_out_urb after usb_free_urb. Reclaiming the URB slab lets the attacker supply URB fields that the USB core then reads, enabling kernel disclosure, as with other heap UAFs.\nI:H - bcd2000_midi_send() writes transfer_buffer_length on the freed URB and then submits it. A reclaimed fake URB plus usb_submit_urb is a heap write and control-flow primitive (completion handler/DMA setup) suitable for hijack, so integrity impact is High.\nA:H - The UAF oopses the kernel (KASAN slab-use-after-free in bcd2000_midi_send and usb_submit_urb). The attacker can repeat connect/disconnect to crash on demand, so availability impact is High."}]}],"providerMetadata":{"dateUpdated":"2026-09-13T06:28:37.196Z","orgId":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","shortName":"Linux"},"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/eb482a06791d6168beb8c78cc904ac5a5ed96a55"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7df3194bdb7479cad9199889655a566a2c0c1d1b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b06ebc7fe25a6af4a9f6e4a3d4236a4178ad4b01"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/459d3a64766f5ca2f1886daeaf24582831a5f5ab"}],"title":"ALSA: bcd2000: clear the URB pointers on disconnect","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}},"cveMetadata":{"assignerOrgId":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","assignerShortName":"Linux","cveId":"CVE-2026-80971","datePublished":"2026-09-11T19:42:34.441Z","dateReserved":"2026-08-26T14:34:25.810Z","dateUpdated":"2026-09-13T06:28:37.196Z","state":"PUBLISHED"},"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2"},"nvd":{"publishedDate":"2026-09-11 20:19:03","lastModifiedDate":"2026-09-13 07:17:03","problem_types":[],"metrics":{"cvssMetricV31":[{"source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","type":"Secondary","cvssData":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","baseScore":7.8,"baseSeverity":"HIGH","attackVector":"LOCAL","attackComplexity":"LOW","privilegesRequired":"LOW","userInteraction":"NONE","scope":"UNCHANGED","confidentialityImpact":"HIGH","integrityImpact":"HIGH","availabilityImpact":"HIGH"},"exploitabilityScore":1.8,"impactScore":5.9}]},"configurations":[]},"legacy_mitre":{"record":{"CveYear":"2026","CveId":"80971","Ordinal":"1","Title":"ALSA: bcd2000: clear the URB pointers on disconnect","CVE":"CVE-2026-80971","Year":"2026"},"notes":[{"CveYear":"2026","CveId":"80971","Ordinal":"1","NoteData":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nALSA: bcd2000: clear the URB pointers on disconnect\n\nbcd2000_free_usb_related_resources() frees both URBs and leaves the\npointers behind:\n\n\tusb_kill_urb(bcd2k->midi_out_urb);\n\tusb_kill_urb(bcd2k->midi_in_urb);\n\n\tusb_free_urb(bcd2k->midi_out_urb);\n\tusb_free_urb(bcd2k->midi_in_urb);\n\nThe rawmidi device outlives that call.
