CVE-2026-46090 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel ALSA aloop loopback driver. When playback starts with parameters that do not match an active capture stream, loopback_check_format() can stop the capture peer. Although peer lookup occurs while holding cable->lock, snd_pcm_stop() executes after that lock is released. A concurrent close can then remove the capture stream from cable->streams[] and detach or free its runtime while the playback-trigger path retains a stale peer substream pointer. The fix tracks in-flight peer-stop operations per cable and makes free_cable() wait for them before detaching the runtime.
