CVE-2026-68217CVE-2026-68217
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: pwc: Drain fill_buf on start_streaming() failure
pwc_isoc_init() submits its isochronous URBs with
usb_submit_urb(.., GFP_KERNEL) in a loop. After the first URB is
submitted, its completion handler pwc_isoc_handler() can run on another
CPU before the loop finishes:
start_streaming()
pwc_isoc_init()
usb_submit_urb(urbs[0], GFP_KERNEL)
pwc_isoc_handler(urbs[0])
pdev->fill_buf =
pwc_get_next_fill_buf(pdev)
usb_submit_urb(urbs[i>0], ..) -> fails
pwc_isoc_cleanup(pdev) /* kills URBs */
return ret;
pwc_cleanup_queued_bufs(pdev, VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED)
pwc_get_next_fill_buf() detaches a buffer from pdev->queued_bufs and
stores it in pdev->fill_buf. The error path in start_streaming() only
drains pdev->queued_bufs, so the buffer parked in pdev->fill_buf is
leaked. vb2
