CVE-2026-46157

About vulnerability

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: pcm: oss: Fix data race at accessing runtime.oss.trigger Currently the runtime.oss.trigger field may be accessed concurrently without protection, which may lead to the data race. And, in this case, it may lead to more severe problem because it’s a bit field; as writing the data, it may overwrite other bit fields as well, which confuses the operation completely, as spotted by fuzzing. Fix it by covering runtime.oss.trigger bit fled also with the existing params_lock mutex in both snd_pcm_oss_get_trigger() and snd_pcm_oss_poll(). A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) Open Sound System (OSS) subsystem. A data race vulnerability exists due to concurrent access to the runtime.oss.trigger field without proper protection. This unprotected access can lead to the overwriting of other bit fields, which may confuse the system’s operation and potentially lead to integrity issues or denial of service.
