Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-05-08 14:16 - Updated: 2026-06-17 10:49

Severity

7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Summary

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

Although the device is USB-backed, the triggering interface is a local device-file ioctl path.\nAC:L - There is no race or probabilistic timing requirement in the cleanup bug; once start_streaming fails, the stale queued-buffer state is deterministic. A controlled failing/disconnecting UVC device or repeated stream-start attempts can trigger the path.\nPR:L - The attacker needs permission to open and issue ioctls on the video device node, but no kernel capability or administrative privilege is checked in the UVC/V4L2 path. This is basic local device access.\nUI:N - A local attacker can perform the required ioctl sequence directly without requiring another user to take action. The vulnerable cleanup occurs in the attacker\u2019s own stream-start attempt.\nS:U - The vulnerability affects kernel media/USB buffer management within the same security authority. It does not inherently cross a VM, IOMMU, or other separate security boundary.\nC:H - The missed UVC buffer return can leave stale driver-private irqqueue entries after vb2 force-reclaims buffers, creating a plausible use-after-free/list-corruption condition. Under the scoring rule for memory corruption and uncertainty, confidentiality impact is High.\nI:H - The stale buffer/list state can lead to kernel memory corruption when the queue is later reused or cancelled. Under the required conservative scoring, this is treated as potentially exploitable for arbitrary modification/control-flow impact.\nA:H - The known manifestation is a kernel WARN in videobuf2, and the stale queue state can progress to list corruption, UAF, oops, or panic on affected systems. This supports High availability impact."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
