  - media: stm32-dcmipp: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure The vb2 framework hands buffers to
    the driver via buf_queue() before calling start_streaming(). If start_streaming() returns an error without
    first returning those buffers via vb2_buffer_done(), vb2_start_streaming() fires
    WARN_ON(owned_by_drv_count) and the queued buffers leak. dcmipp_bytecap_start_streaming() returned -EINVAL
    when the source subdevice could not be resolved from the media graph, before pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
    and media_pipeline_start() had been called. The remaining error paths already converge on the
    err_buffer_done label, which calls dcmipp_bytecap_all_buffers_done(..., VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED). Jump to
    that label directly: the intermediate err_pm_put / err_media_pipeline_stop labels are skipped, which is
    correct because nothing they would undo has happened yet. This mirrors the uvcvideo fix in commit
    4cf3b6fd54eb (media: uvcvideo: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure). (CVE-2026-68211)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
