CVE-2026-97909

ASoC: sti: initialize IRQ lock before requesting IRQ

Published Sep 25, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: sti: initialize IRQ lock before requesting IRQ

uni_reader_init() registers the shared IRQ before initializing
reader->irq_lock. A pending interrupt can invoke the handler while the
lock is still uninitialized.

Initialize the lock before registering the IRQ so the interrupt path
always sees valid lock state.
