Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> media: sun4i-csi: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure<br /> <br /> The vb2 framework hands buffers to the driver via buf_queue() before<br /> calling start_streaming(). If start_streaming() returns an error<br /> without first returning those buffers via vb2_buffer_done(),<br /> vb2_start_streaming() fires WARN_ON(owned_by_drv_count) and the queued<br /> buffers leak.<br /> <br /> sun4i_csi_start_streaming() returned -EINVAL when no matching CSI<br /> format could be found, before any setup (scratch buffer allocation,<br /> pipeline start) had been performed. The remaining error paths already<br /> converge on the err_clear_dma_queue label, which calls<br /> return_all_buffers(..., VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED) under csi-&gt;qlock. Jump<br /> to that label directly: the intermediate err_disable_device /<br /> err_disable_pipeline / err_free_scratch_buffer labels are skipped,<br /> which is correct because nothing they would undo has happened yet.<br /> <br /> This mirrors the uvcvideo fix in commit 4cf3b6fd54eb ("media: uvcvideo:<br /> Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure").
