Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 4.13.4

Description The issue is related to a use-after-free error in the sound/core/seq device.c file of the Linux kernel. This can be exploited by local users via a crafted USB device, potentially leading to a denial of service, such as a system crash, or possibly other unspecified impacts.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.13.4, update to version 4.13.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of USB devices to minimize the risk of exploitation.
