Overview

CVE-2026-97930 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 25, 2026.

Technical description

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

ALSA: usbusx2y: fix in04_last array size mismatch with in04_buf

The in04_last array in struct usx2ydev is declared as char[24], but

in04_buf is allocated as sizeof(struct us428_ctls) which is 21 bytes.

In i_usx2y_in04_int(), when ctl_snapshot_last == -2 (initialization

path):

memcpy(usx2y->in04_last, usx2y->in04_buf, sizeof(usx2y->in04_last));

This copies 24 bytes from a 21-byte slab allocation, reading 3 bytes

past the end of the source object.

Introduce a USX2Y_IN04_SIZE constant defined as sizeof(struct

us428_ctls) and use it consistently for the in04_last array, the

in04_buf allocation, the URB transfer length, and the comparison loop,

replacing the bare 24 and 21 literals throughout.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-97930?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-97930 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.
