Vulnerability description
DayBreach CVE AI Research
CVE-2026-68217 has vendor, distribution, patch and security-source records on file. We can compare them and prepare an explanation linked to the evidence.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: pwc: Drain fill_buf on start_streaming() failure pwc_isoc_init() submits its isochronous URBs with usb_submit_urb(.., GFP_KERNEL) in a loop. After the first URB is submitted, its completion handler pwc_isoc_handler() can run on another CPU before the loop finishes: start_streaming() pwc_isoc_init() usb_submit_urb(urbs[0], GFP_KERNEL) pwc_isoc_handler(urbs[0]) pdev->fill_buf = pwc_get_next_fill_buf(pdev) usb_submit_urb(urbs[i>0], ..) -> fails pwc_isoc_cleanup(pdev) /* kills URBs */ return ret; pwc_cleanup_queued_bufs(pdev, VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED) pwc_get_next_fill_buf() detaches a buffer from pdev->queued_bufs and stores it in pdev->fill_buf. The error path in start_streaming() only drains pdev->queued_bufs, so the buffer parked in pdev->fill_buf is leaked. vb2_start_streaming() then triggers WARN_ON(owned_by_drv_count). stop_streaming() already handles this since commit 80b0963e1698 ("[media] pwc: fix WARN_ON"), which added the fill_buf drain in the teardown path but not in the start_streaming() error path. Mirror that handling on failure so start_streaming() returns with no buffer owned by the driver. Issue identified by automated review of the INV-003 series at https://sashiko.dev/
