Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: ti: j721e-csi2rx: fix list_del corruption

If ti_csi2rx_start_dma() fails in ti_csi2rx_dma_callback(), the buffer is

marked done with VB2_BUF_STATE_ERROR but is not removed from the DMA queue.

This causes the same buffer to be retried in the next iteration, resulting

in a double list_del() and eventual list corruption.

Fix this by removing the buffer from the queue before calling

vb2_buffer_done() on error.

This resolves a crash due to list_del corruption:

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2025-38619?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine.
