CVE-2026-23253

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: dvb-core: fix wrong reinitialization of ringbuffer on reopen dvb_dvr_open() calls dvb_ringbuffer_init() when a new reader opens the DVR device. dvb_ringbuffer_init() calls init_waitqueue_head(), which reinitializes the waitqueue list head to empty. Since dmxdev->dvr_buffer.queue is a shared waitqueue (all opens of the same DVR device share it), this orphans any existing waitqueue entries from io_uring poll or epoll, leaving them with stale prev/next pointers while the list head is reset to {self, self}. The waitqueue and spinlock in dvr_buffer are already properly initialized once in dvb_dmxdev_init(). The open path only needs to reset the buffer data pointer, size, and read/write positions. Replace the dvb_ringbuffer_init() call in dvb_dvr_open() with direct assignment of data/size and a call to dvb_ringbuffer_reset(), which properly resets pread, pwrite, and error with correct memory ordering without touching the waitqueue or spinlock.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: media: dvb-core: corrige la reinicialización incorrecta del búfer circular al reabrir dvb_dvr_open() llama a dvb_ringbuffer_init() cuando un nuevo lector abre el dispositivo DVR. dvb_ringbuffer_init() llama a init_waitqueue_head(), lo que reinicializa la cabecera de la lista de la cola de espera a vacía. Dado que dmxdev->dvr_buffer.queue es una cola de espera compartida (todas las aperturas del mismo dispositivo DVR la comparten), esto deja huérfanas las entradas existentes de la cola de espera de io_uring poll o epoll, dejándolas con punteros prev/next obsoletos mientras la cabecera de la lista se restablece a {self, self}. La cola de espera y el spinlock en dvr_buffer ya están correctamente inicializados una vez en dvb_dmxdev_init(). La ruta de apertura solo necesita restablecer el puntero de datos del búfer, el tamaño y las posiciones de lectura/escritura. Reemplace la llamada a dvb_ringbuffer_init() en dvb_dvr_open() con la asignación directa de datos/tamaño y una llamada a dvb_ringbuffer_reset(), que restablece correctamente pread, pwrite y error con el ordenamiento de memoria correcto sin tocar la cola de espera o el spinlock.
