kernel: ALSA: timer: Fix UAF at snd_timer_user_params()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ALSA timer component. A race condition can occur during the release of a timer object, specifically when the SNDRVTIMERIOCTLPARAMS ioctl is called concurrently. This can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability, potentially...

kernel: ALSA: timer: Forcibly close timer instances at closing

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ALSA timer component. This vulnerability occurs when a timer object is freed while timer instances are still associated with it, particularly when userspace-driven timers are involved. A local user can exploit this by...

Astra Linux – Vulnerabilities in Linux, Linux-5.10, Linux-5.15, Linux-6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: Timer – Setting a lower limit on the start tick time Currently, the ALSA timer does not have a lower limit for the start tick time. It allows a very small size, for example, 1 tick with a resolution of 1 ns for the hrtimer...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: seq: Fixed a division by zero in initializetimer. The ALSA timer SNDUTIMER, which is controlled by the user space, allows an unprivileged user to set the hardware resolution of the sndtimer to an arbitrary 64-bit value via...

CVE-2026-74503

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ALSA timer component. An unprivileged local user with access to the /dev/snd/timer and /dev/snd/seq devices can exploit a race condition where a timer instance's SNDRVTIMERIFLGDEAD flag is not properly cleared after closing...
