In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: chips-media: wave5: Fix Null reference while testing fluster
When multi instances are created/destroyed, many interrupts happens and structures for decoder are removed. "struct vpu_instance" this structure is shared for all flow in the decoder, so if the structure is not protected by lock, Null dereference could happens sometimes. IRQ Handler was spilt to two phases and Lock was added as well.
AnalysisAI
A race condition in the Linux kernel's chips-media wave5 video decoder driver allows local authenticated users to trigger a NULL pointer dereference during concurrent instance creation/destruction, potentially leading to high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The vulnerability affects kernel versions from commit 9707a6254a8a onwards until patched in 6.18.16, 6.19.6, and 7.0. …

RemediationAI
Within 24 hours: Identify systems running Linux kernel versions from commit 9707a6254a8a through versions prior to 6.18.16, 6.19.6, or 7.0 using kernel version inventory tools. Within 7 days: Apply vendor-released patches to upgrade to kernel 6.18.16, 6.19.6, 7.0 or later across all affected systems, prioritizing servers with multiple local users or container workloads. …
