This results in a panic when the send completion runs. The\nexact panic varies depending on what elements of the container structure\nget corrupted. The fix is to use the correct expression in\n_pad_sdma_tx_descs() to test the need to expand the descriptor array.\n\nWith this patch the crashes are no longer reproducible and the machine is\nstable.","modified":"2026-03-20T12:35:12.467523Z","published":"2024-04-03T17:00:48.642Z","related":["ALSA-2026:1661","ALSA-2026:1662","SUSE-SU-2024:1490-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1641-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1644-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1647-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1659-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1663-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1677-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1679-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1680-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1682-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1685-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1695-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1705-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1711-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1726-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1739-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1740-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1748-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1749-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1750-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1753-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1757-1","SUSE-SU-2024:1759-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2092-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2162-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2163-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2191-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2207-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2337-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2446-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2447-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2448-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2722-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2824-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2825-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2840-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2850-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3368-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3375-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3379-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3399-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3631-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3694-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3695-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3696-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3793-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3815-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3829-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3851-1","SUSE-SU-2024:3852-1","SUSE-SU-2024:4122-1","SUSE-SU-2024:4218-1","SUSE-SU-2024:4234-1","SUSE-SU-2024:4235-1","SUSE-SU-2024:4266-1","SUSE-SU-2025:0107-1","SUSE-SU-2025:0109-1","SUSE-SU-2025:0150-1","SUSE-SU-2025:0158-1","SUSE-SU-2025:0248-1","SUSE-SU-2025:0251-1","SUSE-SU-2025:0261-1","SUSE-SU-2025:0266-1"],"database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/26xxx/CVE-2024-26766.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/115b7f3bc1dce590a6851a2dcf23dc1100c49790"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3f38d22e645e2e994979426ea5a35186102ff3c2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/47ae64df23ed1318e27bd9844e135a5e1c0e6e39"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/52dc9a7a573dbf778625a0efca0fca55489f084b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5833024a9856f454a964a198c63a57e59e07baf5"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9034a1bec35e9f725315a3bb6002ef39666114d9"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a2fef1d81becf4ff60e1a249477464eae3c3bc2a"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e6f57c6881916df39db7d95981a8ad2b9c3458d6"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2024/06/msg00017.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2024/06/msg00020.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/26xxx/CVE-2024-26766.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-26766"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"d1c1ee052d25ca23735eea912f843bc7834781b4"},{"fixed":"115b7f3bc1dce590a6851a2dcf23dc1100c49790"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"40ac5cb6cbb01afa40881f78b4d2f559fb7065c4"},{"fixed":"5833024a9856f454a964a198c63a57e59e07baf5"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"6cf8f3d690bb5ad31ef0f41a6206ecf5a068d179"},{"fixed":"3f38d22e645e2e994979426ea5a35186102ff3c2"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"bd57756a7e43c7127d0eca1fc5868e705fd0f7ba"},{"fixed":"47ae64df23ed1318e27bd9844e135a5e1c0e6e39"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"eeaf35f4e3b360162081de5e744cf32d6d1b0091"},{"fixed":"52dc9a7a573dbf778625a0efca0fca55489f084b"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"fd8958efe8779d3db19c9124fce593ce681ac709"},{"fixed":"a2fef1d81becf4ff60e1a249477464eae3c3bc2a"},{"fixed":"9034a1bec35e9f725315a3bb6002ef39666114d9"},{"fixed":"e6f57c6881916df39db7d95981a8ad2b9c3458d6"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"0ef9594936d1f078e8599a1cf683b052df2bec00"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2024-26766.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
