Summary

In the Linux kernel, the media chips-media wave5 driver's stop_streaming function may enter an infinite loop in some cases. A bounded poll of the queue status with a VPU_DEC_STOP_TIMEOUT limit was added.

Risk Assessment

An infinite loop in the kernel can hang a thread or the entire system, causing denial of service. It affects devices with the wave5 decoder.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds a timeout in stop_streaming. Monitor systems with wave5 decoders for hangs.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: chips-media: wave5: Add timeout while stop_streaming When stop_streaming is called, an infinite loop may occur in some cases. Add a bounded poll of the queue status: loop until the queues drain, sleeping briefly between polls, and bail out once VPU_DEC_STOP_TIMEOUT elapses.
