Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46262)

CWE-ID: CWE-667 - Improper Locking

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper lock handling in fsl_xcvr_mode_put() in sound/soc/fsl/fsl_xcvr.c when handling ALSA control write operations. A local user can trigger the vulnerable control path to cause a denial of service.

The issue results from attempting to acquire a read lock on controls_rwsem while the same thread already holds the write lock, leading to a deadlock and a hung task.
