In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: pcm: fix use-after-free on linked stream runtime in snd_pcm_drain() In the drain loop, the local variable 'runtime' is reassigned to a linked stream's runtime (runtime = s->runtime at line 2157). After releasing the stream lock at line 2169, the code accesses runtime->no_period_wakeup, runtime->rate, and runtime->buffer_size (lines 2170-2178) — all referencing the linked stream's runtime without any lock or refcount protecting its lifetime. A concurrent close() on the linked stream's fd triggers snd_pcm_release_substream() → snd_pcm_drop() → pcm_release_private() → snd_pcm_unlink() → snd_pcm_detach_substream() → kfree(runtime). No synchronization prevents kfree(runtime) from completing while the drain path dereferences the stale pointer. Fix by caching the needed runtime fields (no_period_wakeup, rate, buffer_size) into local variables while still holding the stream lock, and using the cached values after the lock is released.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - ALSA: pcm: fix use-after-free on linked stream runtime in snd_pcm_drain() In the drain loop, the local     variable 'runtime' is reassigned to a linked stream's runtime (runtime = s->runtime at line 2157). After     releasing the stream lock at line 2169, the code accesses runtime->no_period_wakeup, runtime->rate, and     runtime->buffer_size (lines 2170-2178)  all referencing the linked stream's runtime without any lock or     refcount protecting its lifetime. A concurrent close() on the linked stream's fd triggers     snd_pcm_release_substream()  snd_pcm_drop()  pcm_release_private()  snd_pcm_unlink()     snd_pcm_detach_substream()  kfree(runtime). No synchronization prevents kfree(runtime) from completing     while the drain path dereferences the stale pointer. Fix by caching the needed runtime fields     (no_period_wakeup, rate, buffer_size) into local variables while still holding the stream lock, and using     the cached values after the lock is released. (CVE-2026-43437)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

An update of the linux package has been released.
