Overview

CVE-2026-93101 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026.

Technical description

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

media: v4l2-async: Unregister sub-device if asc_list is empty

When my em28xx USB device that uses the i2c tvp5150 driver is

disconnected, it crashes.

The cause is that the tvp5150 i2c module uses v4l2_async, but

the em28xx driver does not since it predates v4l2_async.

In that corner case sd->asc_list is empty, so

v4l2_async_unregister_subdev() never calls v4l2_device_unregister_subdev().

Modify the code so that, if sd->asc_list is empty,

v4l2_device_unregister_subdev() is still called.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-93101?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-93101 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
