AI-suggested
A patch is available and included in Linux kernel versions 6.8.0-1061.64~22.04.1 and later. Users should update their Linux kernel to these or newer versions to remediate the vulnerability. After updating, a system reboot is required. Note that due to ABI changes, third-party kernel modules may need to be recompiled and reinstalled. Follow vendor instructions for kernel updates and module recompilation.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's media subsystem for the NXP i.MX8 ISI driver was fixed. The issue involved improper cleanup of streaming resources on release, where any release call could inadvertently stop an active streaming queue. This was reproducible on i.MX8MP boards using video capture devices. The flaw could lead to system instability or denial of service. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.8, indicating high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A patch is available and included in Linux kernel versions 6.8.0 and later. Users should update to the fixed kernel versions to mitigate this issue.
