A substream that is still open\nwhen the device is unplugged reaches bcd2000_midi_send() from the\ntrigger path on close.  That function writes to the freed URB and then\nhands it to the USB core:\n\n\tbcd2k->midi_out_urb->transfer_buffer_length = BUFSIZE;\n\t...\n\tret = usb_submit_urb(bcd2k->midi_out_urb, GFP_ATOMIC);\n\nusb_kill_urb() does not stop a later submission either, so a submit that\nraces the disconnect can requeue the URB after it has been reaped.\nmidi_in_urb is exposed the same way: bcd2000_input_complete() resubmits\nit from the completion handler.\n\nKASAN on 7.2.0-rc5 (arm64):\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in bcd2000_midi_send [snd_bcd2000]\n  Write of size 4 at addr ffff00001827d388 by task bpoc/168\n   __asan_store4\n   bcd2000_midi_send [snd_bcd2000]\n   bcd2000_midi_output_trigger [snd_bcd2000]\n   snd_rawmidi_kernel_write1\n   close_substream.part.0\n  Freed by task 168:\n   usb_free_urb\n   bcd2000_disconnect [snd_bcd2000]\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in usb_submit_urb\n  Read of size 8 at addr ffff00001827d3b8 by task bpoc/168\n\nClear both pointers after freeing and test them on the paths that can\nstill run.
