In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: aloop: Fix peer runtime UAF during format-change stop loopback_check_format() may stop the capture side when playback starts with parameters that no longer match a running capture stream. Commit 826af7fa62e3 ("ALSA: aloop: Fix racy access at PCM trigger") moved the peer lookup under cable->lock, but the actual snd_pcm_stop() still runs after dropping that lock. A concurrent close can clear the capture entry from cable->streams[] and detach or free its runtime while the playback trigger path still holds a stale peer substream pointer. Keep a per-cable count of in-flight peer stops before dropping cable->lock, and make free_cable() wait for those stops before detaching the runtime. This preserves the existing behavior while making the peer runtime lifetime explicit.

A security update for the SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 kernel addresses multiple vulnerabilities, including use-after-free bugs, race conditions, and improper handling of network protocols. The update fixes 10 distinct CVEs affecting components such as SCSI, TCP, bonding, ALSA, KVM, networking, and Bluetooth subsystems. These vulnerabilities could lead to memory corruption or unexpected behavior in kernel modules.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es): * kernel: ALSA: usb-audio: Add sanity check for OOB writes at silencing (CVE-2026-43279) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
