Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-24 14:08:53 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: camss: Clean up received buffers on failed start of streaming

It is required to return the received buffers, if streaming can not be
started. For instance media_pipeline_start() may fail with EPIPE, if
a link validation between entities is not passed, and in such a case
a user gets a kernel warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 520 at drivers/media/common/videobuf2/videobuf2-core.c:1592 vb2_start_streaming+0xec/0x160
  <snip>
  Call trace:
   vb2_start_streaming+0xec/0x160
   vb2_core_streamon+0x9c/0x1a0
   vb2_ioctl_streamon+0x68/0xbc
   v4l_streamon+0x30/0x3c
   __video_do_ioctl+0x184/0x3e0
   video_usercopy+0x37c/0x7b0
   video_ioctl2+0x24/0x40
   v4l2_ioctl+0x4c/0x70

The fix is to correct the error path in video_start_streaming() of camss.
