Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-04-22 15:08:09 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: mc, v4l2: serialize REINIT and REQBUFS with req_queue_mutex

MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_REINIT can run concurrently with VIDIOC_REQBUFS(0)
queue teardown paths. This can race request object cleanup against vb2
queue cancellation and lead to use-after-free reports.

We already serialize request queueing against STREAMON/OFF with
req_queue_mutex. Extend that serialization to REQBUFS, and also take
the same mutex in media_request_ioctl_reinit() so REINIT is in the
same exclusion domain.

This keeps request cleanup and queue cancellation from running in
parallel for request-capable devices.
