Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's media: iris: gen2 component. When a session is stopped, a memory deallocation occurs. If a subsequent streaming stop operation is initiated without proper validation, it attempts to access already freed memory. This can be triggered by a local attacker or a malicious application, leading to a system crash and a Denial of Service (DoS).	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-06 13:07:39 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: iris: gen2: Add sanity check for session stop

In iris_kill_session, inst->state is set to IRIS_INST_ERROR and
session_close is executed, which will kfree(inst_hfi_gen2->packet).
If stop_streaming is called afterward, it will cause a crash.

Add a NULL check for inst_hfi_gen2->packet before sendling STOP packet
to firmware to fix that.
