CVE-2026-64358

Technical Description

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

media: mtk-jpeg: cancel workqueue on release for supported platforms only

Since a recent fix the mtk_jpeg_release function cancels any pending

or running work present in the driver workqueue using

cancel_work_sync function.

Currently, only the multicore based variants use this workqueue and they

have the jpeg_worker platform data field initialized with a workqueue

callback function. For the others, this field value remain NULL by

default.

The cancel_work_sync function is unconditionally called in

mtk_jpeg_release function, even for the variants that do not use the

workqueue. This call generates a WARN_ON print in __flush_work because

the workqueue callback function presence check fails in __flush_work

function (used by cancel_work_sync).

So, to avoid these warnings, call cancel_work_sync only if a workqueue

callback is defined in platform data.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
