CVE-2026-53382

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

Description A NULL pointer dereference exists in the vidtv component. The function vidtv mux get pid ctx() can return NULL, which vidtv mux push si() fails to check before dereferencing the pointer to access the continuity counter, resulting in a general protection fault. The root cause is that vidtv mux pid ctx init() does not verify the return value of vidtv mux create pid ctx once() for PMT section PIDs; if allocation fails, the PID context is not created despite the initialization returning success.

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