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\nairspy_start_streaming() returned -ENODEV early when the USB device had\nbeen disconnected (s->udev == NULL) without returning any buffers that\nbuf_queue() had already accepted.  Take v4l2_lock first and jump to the\nexisting err_clear_bit label, which already drains s->queued_bufs via\nvb2_buffer_done(..., VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED) before unlocking.\n\nThis mirrors the uvcvideo fix in commit 4cf3b6fd54eb (\"media: uvcvideo:\nReturn queued buffers on start_streaming() failure\")."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/media/usb/airspy/airspy.c"],"versions":[{"version":"634fe5033951b80ef4b98d8f047cb1083d29170d","lessThan":"badceeb82a9d8d8e98d07859f3c89130ae1998b9","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"634fe5033951b80ef4b98d8f047cb1083d29170d","lessThan":"122ce0c0af629a8765ddf1adf6fb85c6db3d47cb","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"634fe5033951b80ef4b98d8f047cb1083d29170d","lessThan":"bcdf261c4c29077fc3da6449f7eda77357046205","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"634fe5033951b80ef4b98d8f047cb1083d29170d","lessThan":"877686a74ecdc93dcaee09dbac566e819059c9e7","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"634fe5033951b80ef4b98d8f047cb1083d29170d","lessThan":"cd42623d698b59f1fe5768f78a4101c28d5feb2e","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"634fe5033951b80ef4b98d8f047cb1083d29170d","lessThan":"73bd2779865372b1017d4f555b45270aa2d0d710","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"634fe5033951b80ef4b98d8f047cb1083d29170d","lessThan":"170fcc945bc094b1c956bf555c070692826a3eff","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"634fe5033951b80ef4b98d8f047cb1083d29170d","lessThan":"04344d0b4929caa94c0df72f767752aa0935ef5d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/media/usb/airspy/airspy.c"],"versions":[{"version":"3.17","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"3.17","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.265","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.216","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.183","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.148","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.101","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.42","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.6","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.17","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.265"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.17","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.216"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.17","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.183"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.17","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.148"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.17","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.101"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.17","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.42"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.17","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.6"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"3.17","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/badceeb82a9d8d8e98d07859f3c89130ae1998b9"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/122ce0c0af629a8765ddf1adf6fb85c6db3d47cb"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bcdf261c4c29077fc3da6449f7eda77357046205"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/877686a74ecdc93dcaee09dbac566e819059c9e7"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cd42623d698b59f1fe5768f78a4101c28d5feb2e"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/73bd2779865372b1017d4f555b45270aa2d0d710"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/170fcc945bc094b1c956bf555c070692826a3eff"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/04344d0b4929caa94c0df72f767752aa0935ef5d"}],"title":"media: airspy: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
