Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68204)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

CVSSv4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause unexpected results.

The vulnerability exists due to improper state management in vivid_update_format_cap() and vivid_update_format_out() when changing CROP, COMPOSE, or SCALE capability controls after REQBUFS and before STREAMON while the queue state is not properly enforced. A local user can change these controls to cause unexpected results.

The issue affects the vivid media test driver during the window between buffer request setup and the start of streaming.
