CVE-2023-53045
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: u_audio: don't let userspace block driver unbind
In the unbind callback for f_uac1 and f_uac2, a call to snd_card_free() via g_audio_cleanup() will disconnect the card and then wait for all resources to be released, which happens when the refcount falls to zero. Since userspace can keep the refcount incremented by not closing the relevant file descriptor, the call to unbind may block indefinitely. This can cause a deadlock during reboot, as evidenced by the following blocked task observed on my machine:
The issue can also be observed by opening the card with arecord and then stopping the process through the shell before unbinding:

Fix the problem by using snd_card_free_when_closed() instead, which will still disconnect the card as desired, but defer the task of freeing the resources to the core once userspace closes its file descriptor.

En la llamada de desvinculación para f_uac1 y f_uac2, una llamada a snd_card_free() mediante g_audio_cleanup() desconectará la tarjeta y esperará a que se liberen todos los recursos, lo que ocurre cuando el recuento de referencias llega a cero.
