AI-suggested

A fix is available that moves streaming cleanup to the vb2 streaming operations, preventing unintended stream termination on release calls. Users should update to a Linux kernel version that includes this fix. Since this is a kernel driver issue, applying the official kernel patch or upgrading to a fixed kernel version is the recommended remediation. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed here; check the vendor or kernel mailing list advisories for the exact fixed version.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's media driver for NXP i.MX8 ISI devices allows improper cleanup of streaming resources on release calls. The issue occurs because the driver unconditionally calls a cleanup function during video release, which can prematurely stop an active video stream when querying device capabilities. This can lead to error states and kernel warnings. The fix involves moving streaming preparation and cleanup to appropriate vb2 operations, preventing unintended stream termination.
