CVE-2026-68204

/// Technical description

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

media: vivid: check for vb2_is_busy() when toggling caps

The vivid_update_format_cap/out() functions must only be called if the

capture/output queue are not busy. But for the controls that select

the CROP/COMPOSE/SCALE capability that is not checked.

Only when streaming starts will they be set to 'grabbed' and it is

impossible to change the control, but between REQBUFS and STREAMON you

are still allowed to set these controls. Since vivid_update_format_cap/out

will change the format, this can cause unexpected results.

Besides adding these checks, also add a WARN_ON in

vivid_update_format_cap/out() if the queue is busy.

I'm 90% certain that this is the cause of this syzbot bug:

But since we never have reproducers, it is hard to be certain. In any case,

these checks are needed regardless.

/// 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.
