{"cve":"CVE-2026-80716","nvd":{"published":"2026-08-28T08:16:57.303","modified":"2026-10-16T20:18:08.243","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nALSA: pcm: wake linked drain waiters on unlink\n\nsnd_pcm_drain() on a linked stream parks an on-stack wait entry on the\ndrained peer's runtime->sleep, and after schedule_timeout() removes it\nonly if that peer is still found in the caller's group.  If group\nmembership changes during the wait and the sleep ends by signal or\ntimeout (so autoremove_wake_function() does not run), finish_wait() is\nskipped and snd_pcm_drain() returns with the entry still queued on that\nstream's sleep list; a later wake_up() then walks a freed stack frame.\nThis is reachable by unlinking either the drained or the draining stream.\n\nUnlike the close path (snd_pcm_drop() -> snd_pcm_post_stop()),\nsnd_pcm_unlink() never wakes the sleep queues.  Wake every group member\nunder the group lock before the membership change, so a linked drainer is\nreleased and drops its entry while the streams are still grouped.\n\nThe window was opened when snd_pcm_link_rwsem stopped being held across\nthe wait and the removal became conditional on group membership (see\nFixes). The later switch to finish_wait() kept that conditional removal,\nso the signal/timeout case remained.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1c1b7e8e545ce65e40f65b55c432765e058ea98f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2940cc3cf43c72126b74ee6376314c195382023a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3035bb784cea3f338934f5042dd3f35225a51b2e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c172e4c53321ee6429955295ea133bc3597a3ca9","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/db09bc4ab19ce548a078240d2374792523953500"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:50:50.842544443+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-80716","score":0.00123,"percentile":0.02048,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
