{"id":"AZL-90660","summary":"CVE-2026-53192 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.143.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nALSA: timer: Fix UAF at snd_timer_user_params()\n\nAt releasing a timer object, e.g. when a userspace timer\n(CONFIG_SND_UTIMER) gets closed and snd_timer_free() is called, it\ntries to detach the timer instances and release the resources.\nHowever, it's still possible that other in-flight tasks are holding\nthe timer instance where the to-be-deleted timer object is associated,\nand this may lead to racy accesses.\n\nFortunately, most of ioctls dealing with the timer instance list\nalready have the protection with register_mutex, and this also avoids\nsuch races.  But, SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_PARAMS isn't protected, hence the\nconcurrent ioctl may lead to use-after-free.\n\nThis patch just adds the guard with register_mutex to protect\nsnd_timer_user_params() for covering the code path as a quick\nworkaround.  It's no hot-path but rather a rarely issued ioctl, so the\nperformance penalty doesn't matter.","modified":"2026-08-28T17:47:38.745334987Z","published":"2026-06-25T09:16:36Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-53192"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53192"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6.143.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-90660.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
