CVE-2026-31585

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A memory leak exists in the vidtv driver. When the vidtv start streaming() function fails within vidtv start feed(), the nfeeds counter remains incremented despite no feed being started. This results in state corruption where subsequent calls to start a feed skip starting the mux, and stop feed calls attempt to stop non-existent streams. Additionally, this corruption can lead to memory leaks because mux and channel resources may be partially allocated during a failed streaming start but are never cleaned up since the stop path returns early when dvb->streaming is false.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
