CVE-2026-51261
Missing mutex synchronization in AudioBuffer::freeSpace() in schreibfaul1 ESP32-audioI2S 3.4.5 creates a race condition between concurrent tasks. The function calculates available buffer space without protecting shared read/write pointers, returning an incorrectly large value. Trusting this value leads to heap out-of-bounds write, memory corruption, device crash, and arbitrary code execution.
No public exploitation has been reported so far. No distribution fix is listed yet; apply vendor mitigations and monitor.
Recommended action: Track your distribution's security tracker and apply the fix as soon as it ships.
Affected & fixed versions by distribution
Versions are the native distribution strings (backport-aware): RHEL/Debian/SUSE backport fixes, so compare with the distro version comparator (dpkg / rpm / vercmp), not the upstream version.
No affected package in the tracked watchlist yet (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, SUSE, Red Hat...). Triage may still be pending.
