It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-68222 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68222/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68222/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68222","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68222/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68222","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-68222","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68222","GHSA-c87f-75wq-m23q","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68222"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A flaw in the msi2500 USB driver causes queued buffers to leak on streaming start failure, potentially leading to resource exhaustion and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmedia: msi2500: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure\n\nThe vb2 framework hands buffers to the driver via buf_queue() before\ncalling start_streaming().  If start_streaming() returns an error\nwithout first returning those buffers via vb2_buffer_done(),\nvb2_start_streaming() fires WARN_ON(owned_by_drv_count) and the queued\nbuffers leak.\n\nmsi2500_start_streaming() had five error paths that all hit this trap\nand were further tangled by ret-overwriting between calls:\n\n  - -ENODEV when the USB device was already disconnected\n  - -ERESTARTSYS when mutex_lock_interruptible() was interrupted\n  - msi2500_set_usb_adc() failure: ret was silently overwritten by\n    the next call (msi2500_isoc_init), so the error was lost entirely\n  - msi2500_isoc_init() failure: cleanup_queued_bufs was called, but\n    the function then fell through to msi2500_ctrl_msg() and again\n    masked the original error by overwriting ret\n  - msi2500_ctrl_msg(CMD_START_STREAMING) failure: no cleanup at all,\n    leaving isoc URBs submitted with no way for the driver to consume\n    them\n\nConsolidate the error paths into a small goto chain.  Every failure\nnow stops the function, drains the queued-buffer list, and returns\nthe real error code.  The ctrl_msg failure path also rolls back the\npreceding msi2500_isoc_init() via msi2500_isoc_cleanup() before\nunlocking and draining.\n\nThe cleanup helper takes a vb2_buffer_state argument so that the\nstart_streaming error paths can pass VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED (as\nexpected by userspace on start_streaming failure) while stop_streaming\nkeeps its existing VB2_BUF_STATE_ERROR semantics.\n\nThis mirrors the uvcvideo fix in commit 4cf3b6fd54eb (\"media: uvcvideo:\nReturn queued buffers on start_streaming() failure\").","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"media: msi2500: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure","id":"CVE-2026-68222","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"media: meson: vdec: Fix memory leak in error path of vdec_open","id":"CVE-2026-68223"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"media: nuvoton: npcm-video: fix memory leaks in probe and remove","id":"CVE-2026-68221"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-10","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A flaw in the msi2500 USB driver causes queued buffers to leak on streaming start failure, potentially leading to resource exhaustion and denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68222/"}
