The bit\ncannot represent two concurrent callbacks: when a second interrupt\nre-queues an instance whose callback is still running, both run at once,\nthe first to finish clears the bit, and the close-path drain then frees\nthe instance (and its callback_data) while the other callback is still\nlive - a use-after-free reachable by any user able to open\n/dev/snd/timer, both via a user timer instance and via a sequencer queue\ntimer bound to the utimer.\nsnd_timer_interrupt() sets IFLG_CALLBACK before dropping timer->lock, so\na concurrent interrupt already observes it under the lock. Skip\nre-queuing an instance (and its slaves) to the ack/sack list while its\ncallback is in flight; the accumulated pticks are delivered on the next\ntick, so no event is lost.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) timer component. A lack of serialization in the userspace-driven timer (utimer) TRIGGER ioctl allows two threads to concurrently call snd_timer_interrupt(). This race condition can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability, where a timer instance is freed while its callback is still running. A local attacker with the ability to open /dev/snd/timer could exploit this to achieve privilege escalation."], "name": "CVE-2026-68200", "package_state": [{"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:10", "fix_state": "Affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:6", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:enterprise_linux_nvidia:", "fix_state": "Affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux for NVIDIA 26"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/a:redhat:openshift:4", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "rhcos", "product_name": "Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4"}], "public_date": "2026-08-10T12:00:19Z", "references": ["https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-68200\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-68200\nhttps://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1395327a96614885552bae5fbb650e6dd182d49b\nhttps://git.kernel.org/stable/c/70d28bfcd6224eed75986b3b987b997e59643fa4\nhttps://git.kernel.org/stable/c/996c24377eea4d4506b7c3ccbbf1e490440b5e0b\nhttps://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c1078130a4cd7e738f4b73afe99b3e68cbfbf884"], "threat_severity": "Important"}
