This matches established kernel.org scoring for USB gadget bind/unbind use-after-frees (e.g. CVE-2025-38555, CVE-2026-63894).\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race \u2014 the moment of the free (unbind plus closing the last `/dev/snd/control*` descriptor, which is what actually triggers `snd_card_do_free()` and releases the kcontrols) and the moment of the use (UAC volume/mute `SET_CUR` transfers, altsetting changes, or bus suspend) \u2014 so it can be retried and won reliably.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user can hold and release the ALSA control descriptor to pin the exact instant the kcontrols are freed and can drive the USB-side control transfers via the loopback host stack, consistent with the PR:L assigned to other gadget teardown use-after-frees reached through the same configfs path.\nUI:N - The attacker performs every step itself \u2014 unbind, fd close, and the UAC control traffic \u2014 with no action required from any other user.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap memory within the same kernel security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The stale `snd_kcontrol` is read after free and its `id` field (including the 64-byte name) is copied into a `snd_ctl_event` delivered to userspace readers of the control device, leaking groomable freed slab contents; a controlled use-after-free read of this kind is a general kernel memory disclosure primitive.\nI:H - `set_active()` and `u_audio_set_volume/mute()` acquire `prm-\u003elock` and write `prm-\u003eactive`/`volume`/`mute` into the already-`kfree()`d `snd_uac_chip`, and `snd_ctl_notify()` performs list insertion on the freed `snd_card`, giving write-after-free and list-corruption primitives that can be leveraged for control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - Use of freed kcontrol, `snd_card`, and `snd_uac_chip` objects \u2014 including spinlock operations and list walks on freed memory \u2014 reliably produces KASAN splats, list corruption, and kernel panics."
