Overview

CVE-2026-93041 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026.

Technical description

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

dmaengine: dw-edma: Serialize abort state updates

dw_edma_abort_interrupt() drops vc.lock before changing request and

status. issue_pending() can acquire the lock in that small window,

observe the old busy state, and skip starting queued descriptors. Then

the abort handler overwrites the channel status as idle, leaving the new

descriptors stranded for good.

Keep descriptor completion and the state transition in the same critical

section.
