CVE-2026-43290 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: uvcvideo: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure Return buffers if streaming fails to start due to uvc_pm_get() error. This bug may be responsible for a warning I got running while :; do yavta -c3 /dev/video0; done on an xHCI controller which failed under this workload. I had no luck reproducing this warning again to confirm. xhci_hcd 0000:09:00.0: HC died; cleaning up usb 13-2: USB disconnect, device number 2 WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 29386 at drivers/media/common/videobuf2/videobuf2-core.c:1803 vb2_start_streaming+0xac/0x120
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's UVC video driver has been addressed, which involves improper handling of video buffers when streaming fails to start. This issue can occur if the 'uvc_pm_get()' function encounters an error, leading to a warning that may indicate a problem with the USB controller under certain workloads. The vulnerability could potentially disrupt normal video streaming operations by not properly returning queued buffers when an error occurs.
Users can update to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been fixed. Instructions for downloading the patched kernel can be found on the official Linux kernel website.
