Overview

CVE-2026-97909 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 25, 2026.

Technical 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.
