CVE-2026-89901CVE-2026-89901
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: airspy: use vb2_video_unregister_device() on disconnect to fix NULL deref
airspy_disconnect() clears s->udev under v4l2_lock, but
airspy_stop_streaming() unconditionally calls airspy_ctrl_msg() and
airspy_free_stream_bufs() afterwards. If a streaming user closes the
device after disconnect, stop_streaming() runs and dereferences the
NULL s->udev:
airspy_stop_streaming()
airspy_ctrl_msg(s, CMD_RECEIVER_MODE, 0, 0, NULL, 0)
usb_sndctrlpipe(s->udev, 0) /* NULL deref */
airspy_free_stream_bufs(s)
usb_free_coherent(s->udev, ...) /* NULL deref */
The airspy driver uses vb2_fop_release() in its file_operations, so
replace video_unregister_device(&s->vdev) with
vb2_video_unregister_device(&s->vdev) and move it before clearing
s->udev. vb2_video_unregister_device() releases the vb2 queue, which
synchronously runs airspy_stop_streaming() if streaming is active, so
the URBs, coherent D
