CVE-2026-89946 — ASoC: cs35l33: drain threaded IRQ before runtime suspend
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 register access with regcache_sync(). Since probe only warns if devm_request_threaded_irq() fails, track whether the IRQ was actually installed before disabling or re-enabling it.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+2
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-89946 is "ASoC: cs35l33: drain threaded IRQ before runtime suspend", rated Unknown. It affects Linux (Linux); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. EPSS 0.21% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
