Overview

CVE-2026-89946 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 16, 2026.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: cs35l33: drain threaded IRQ before runtime suspend

cs35l33_runtime_suspend() currently switches the codec into

regcache_cache_only(true) and powers it down without first quiescing the

threaded IRQ registered by devm_request_threaded_irq(). That leaves a

window where cs35l33_irq_thread() can still run after suspend has closed

off live register 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_1/2 after cache_only has been

enabled, ignores the regmap_read() failures, and can still drive the

AMP_SHORT_RLS, CAL_ERR_RLS, OTE_RLS, and OTW_RLS release paths.

Use disable_irq() before entering cache_only/power-off so any in-flight

threaded handler is drained and no new IRQ thread can run during the

suspended state. Re-enable the IRQ only after runtime_resume() has

restored live reg

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-89946?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-89946 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
