kernel: ALSA: usb-audio: Add sanity check for OOB writes at silencing

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ALSA Advanced Linux Sound Architecture USB audio subsystem. An inconsistency in how USB audio playback and capture streams are handled can lead to an out-of-bounds write to a memory buffer. This can result in a system crash, causing a denial of service for a...

CVE-2026-46088

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ALSA control component. Improper validation of the buffer length before a string length operation in the sndctleleminitenumnames function can lead to a system panic. This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to trigger...

CVE-2026-46048

CVE-2026-46048 relates to a leak in the Linux kernel ALSA caiaq driver. The issue arises because create_card() takes a usb_get_dev() reference to a USB device and stores the corresponding usb_put_dev() in card_free(), which is registered as snd_card’s private_free destructor. However, private_fre...
