Linux Kernel up to 7.2.4 ASoC cs35l34_runtime_suspend race condition

CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 7.2.4 and classified as very critical. Affected by this issue is the function cs35l34_runtime_suspend of the component ASoC. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a race condition vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-362. The product contains a code sequence that can run concurrently with other code, and the code sequence requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence that is operating concurrently. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: cs35l34: drain threaded IRQ before runtime suspend cs35l34_runtime_suspend() currently switches the codec into regcache_cache_only(true), asserts reset low, and powers the device off without first quiescing the threaded IRQ registered by devm_request_threaded_irq(). That leaves a window where cs35l34_irq_thread() can still run after suspend has removed live hardware access. A running system can reach this during runtime PM while the driver still has critical fault IRQs unmasked. If the threaded handler runs in that window, it reads volatile INT_STATUS_1..4 after cache_only has been enabled, ignores the regmap_read() failures, and can still execute the PROT_RELEASE_CTL release sequence or the BST fault power-down writes. Use disable_irq() before entering cache_only/reset-low/power-off so any in-flight threaded handler is drained and no new IRQ thread can run while the device is suspended. Re-enable the IRQ only after runtime_resume() has restored live register access with regcache_sync(). Since probe only logs request_threaded_irq() failures and keeps going, track whether the IRQ was actually installed before disabling or re-enabling it.

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-89945 since 09/11/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/16/2026).

Upgrading to version 5.10.270, 5.15.221, 6.1.188, 6.6.157, 6.12.110, 6.18.51, 7.2.5 or 7.3-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 3be8380fb14d602cd833e5852e6d83c1e7eb1ceb/96982734e765c13c3db02067e1d5784682085f5c/5b063739619990d5de0c94c85d6e5be14e7cbdfe/f4bfd755c52dfa7584e6c9374206b71b8895c997/4fe8a91a9266f1321c2d31ce67940a4e8b93559e/5a4fe7a87841af23ba80bae31b80355b16926cf4/07a86575edc308e66b6c8873ed4a93ef3a063e55/4105a4c0678b2808fc8046b60321b4f1cc7dae75 is able to eliminate this problem. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
