CVE-2025-23134

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: timer: Don't take registermutex with copyfrom/touser The infamous mmaplock taken in copyfrom/touser can be often problematic when it's called inside another mutex, as they might lead to deadlocks. In the case of ALSA timer...

CVE-2025-23134

CVE-2025-23134 affects the Linux kernel ALSA timer code. The vulnerability stems from taking mmap_lock while inside a mutex-wrapped copy_from/to_user() via the pattern guard(mutex)(&register_mutex). This can lead to deadlocks when copy_from/to_user() is invoked under the register_mutex, particula...
