Subject: CVE-2026-89866: media: chips-media: wave5: Resume device before setting EOS flag
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 11:29:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026091623-CVE-2026-89866-bdca@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: chips-media: wave5: Resume device before setting EOS flag
Setting the EOS flag talks to the firmware via send_firmware_command(),
which accesses VPU registers. Both the STREAMOFF path
(wave5_vpu_dec_job_abort()) and the V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP path
(wave5_vpu_dec_stop()) can run while the device is runtime suspended, so
those register accesses hit powered-down hardware and the SoC raises an
asynchronous SError, panicking the kernel:
SError Interrupt on CPU3, code 0x00000000bf000000 -- SError
send_firmware_command+0x2c/0x160 [wave5]
wave5_vpu_dec_set_bitstream_flag+0x6c/0x80 [wave5]
wave5_vpu_dec_update_bitstream_buffer+0x80/0xec [wave5]
wave5_vpu_dec_job_abort+0x44/0xa0 [wave5]
v4l2_m2m_cancel_job+0x110/0x19c [v4l2_mem2mem]
v4l2_m2m_streamoff+0x24/0x140 [v4l2_mem2mem]
Resume the device with pm_runtime_resume_and_get() around the EOS
firmware command and release it with pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(),
matching the runtime PM handling already done in
wave5_vpu_dec_device_run().
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-89866 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
