It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-53193 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53193/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53193/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-53193","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53193/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-53193","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-53193","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53193","GHSA-r56g-vpx5-3639","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53193"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel ALSA","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel ALSA timer subsystem allows local attackers to execute code or escalate privileges when using userspace-driven timers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nALSA: timer: Forcibly close timer instances at closing\n\nWhen snd_timer object is freed via snd_timer_free() and still pending\nsnd_timer_instance objects are assigned to the timer object, it tries\nto unlink all instances and just set NULL to each ti-\u003etimer, then\nreleases the resources immediately.  The problem is, however, when\nthere are slave timer instances that are associated with a master\ninstance linked to this timer: namely, those slave instances still\npoint to the freed timer object although the master instance is\nunlinked, which may lead to user-after-free.  The bug can be easily\ntriggered particularly when a new userspace-driven timers\n(CONFIG_SND_UTIMER) is involved, since it can create and delete the\ntimer object via a simple file open/close, while the other\napplications may keep accessing to that timer.\n\nThis patch is an attempt to paper over the problem above: now instead\nof just unlinking, call snd_timer_close[_locked]() forcibly for each\npending timer instance, so that all assigned slave timer instances are\nproperly detached, too.  Since snd_timer_close() might be called later\nby the driver that created that instance, the check of\nSNDRV_TIMER_IFLG_DEAD is added at the beginning, too.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"ALSA: timer: Forcibly close timer instances at closing","id":"CVE-2026-53193","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"USB: serial: kl5kusb105: fix bulk-out buffer overflow","id":"CVE-2026-53194"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ALSA: timer: Fix UAF at snd_timer_user_params()","id":"CVE-2026-53192"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-06-25","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel ALSA timer subsystem allows local attackers to execute code or escalate privileges when using userspace-driven timers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53193/"}
