What to do
AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel to add buffers to the list only after successful DMA allocation. Users should update to the fixed kernel version once available.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's media iris driver was fixed by ensuring buffers are added to the internal list only after successful DMA allocation. Previously, buffers could be partially initialized and left in an inconsistent state if allocation failed, potentially causing resource leaks.
