Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89866)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89866). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
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().

CVE-2026-89866 (Linux kernel)
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
