CVE-2026-97513

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the chips-media wave5 driver, a use-after-free risk occurs when removing an instance from the list. The IRQ thread may acquire the spinlock between m2m_ctx release and removal, leading to a null pointer dereference.

Risk Assessment

Use-after-free can cause system crashes or potential privilege escalation due to memory corruption.

Recommendation

Apply the fix that ensures m2m_ctx is removed from the list before freeing to prevent the IRQ thread from accessing freed memory.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: chips-media: wave5: Release m2m_ctx after Instance Removed from List Possible use after free if IRQ thread manages to obtain spinlock between m2m_ctx release and wave5_release function removing stream instance from list of active instances. The IRQ thread looks for the m2m_ctx which is freed so null pointer dereference occurs.
