After\nreleasing the stream lock at line 2169, the code accesses\nruntime->no_period_wakeup, runtime->rate, and runtime->buffer_size\n(lines 2170-2178) — all referencing the linked stream's runtime without\nany lock or refcount protecting its lifetime.\n\nA concurrent close() on the linked stream's fd triggers\nsnd_pcm_release_substream() → snd_pcm_drop() → pcm_release_private()\n→ snd_pcm_unlink() → snd_pcm_detach_substream() → kfree(runtime).\nNo synchronization prevents kfree(runtime) from completing while the\ndrain path dereferences the stale pointer.\n\nFix by caching the needed runtime fields (no_period_wakeup, rate,\nbuffer_size) into local variables while still holding the stream lock,\nand using the cached values after the lock is released.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-05-08T14:22:07.314+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T19:26:36.663+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
