CVE-2026-31583

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's em28xx media driver. This vulnerability, a type of memory corruption, arises from a race condition where the driver attempts to use memory that has already been freed or access a null pointer. This can be triggered when the em28xxv4l2open function is called...

CVE-2026-31583

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: em28xx: fix use-after-free in em28xxv4l2open em28xxv4l2open reads dev-v4l2 without holding dev-lock, creating a race with em28xxv4l2init's error path and em28xxv4l2fini, both of which free the em28xxv4l2 struct and set...
