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-2026-80716 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. 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-2026-80716/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80716/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-80716","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-80716/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-80716","record":{"aliases":["AZL-98171","BELL-CVE-2026-80716","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-80716","GHSA-j63j-489f-v3q9","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-80716"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel ALSA","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free in the Linux kernel ALSA PCM subsystem allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges via race conditions during stream unlinking.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nALSA: pcm: wake linked drain waiters on unlink\n\nsnd_pcm_drain() on a linked stream parks an on-stack wait entry on the\ndrained peer's runtime-\u003esleep, and after schedule_timeout() removes it\nonly if that peer is still found in the caller's group.  If group\nmembership changes during the wait and the sleep ends by signal or\ntimeout (so autoremove_wake_function() does not run), finish_wait() is\nskipped and snd_pcm_drain() returns with the entry still queued on that\nstream's sleep list; a later wake_up() then walks a freed stack frame.\nThis is reachable by unlinking either the drained or the draining stream.\n\nUnlike the close path (snd_pcm_drop() -\u003e snd_pcm_post_stop()),\nsnd_pcm_unlink() never wakes the sleep queues.
