CVE-2026-89901

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

media: airspy: use vb2_video_unregister_device() on disconnect to fix NULL deref

airspy_disconnect() clears s->udev under v4l2_lock, but
airspy_stop_streaming() unconditionally calls airspy_ctrl_msg() and
airspy_free_stream_bufs() afterwards. If a streaming user closes the
device after disconnect, stop_streaming() runs and dereferences the
NULL s->udev:

  airspy_stop_streaming()
    airspy_ctrl_msg(s, CMD_RECEIVER_MODE, 0, 0, NULL, 0)
      usb_sndctrlpipe(s->udev, 0)         /* NULL deref */
    airspy_free_stream_bufs(s)
      usb_free_coherent(s->udev, ...)     /* NULL deref */

The airspy driver uses vb2_fop_release() in its file_operations, so
replace video_unregister_device(&s->vdev) with
vb2_video_unregister_device(&s->vdev) and move it before clearing
s->udev. vb2_video_unregister_device() releases the vb2 queue, which
synchronously runs airspy_stop_streaming() if streaming is active, so
the URBs, coherent DMA stream buffers and the hardware stop control
message all execute while s->udev is still valid.

vb2_video_unregister_device() locks vdev->queue->lock (vb_queue_lock)
internally, and stop_streaming() locks v4l2_lock, so the previous outer
mutex_lock(&s->vb_queue_lock) / mutex_lock(&s->v4l2_lock) pair around
the unregister sequence would self-deadlock and has been removed. A
short v4l2_lock critical section around s->udev = NULL remains so any
ioctl path that still holds the file descriptor sees coherent state.
