CVE-2025-39714 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: usbtv: Lock resolution while streaming When an program is streaming (ffplay) and another program (qv4l2) changes the TV standard from NTSC to PAL, the kernel crashes due to trying to copy to unmapped memory. Changing from NTSC to PAL increases the resolution in the usbtv struct, but the video plane buffer isn't adjusted, so it overflows. [hverkuil: call vb2_is_busy instead of vb2_is_streaming]
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's usbtv driver can lead to a crash when streaming video. This occurs if one program changes the TV standard from NTSC to PAL while another is actively streaming. The switch to PAL increases the resolution in the usbtv structure, but the corresponding video buffer isn't properly adjusted, causing an overflow and a crash due to an attempt to access unmapped memory.
Users can update to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been fixed. Instructions for updating the kernel can be found in the official Linux documentation.
