Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions in the vimc_streamer_pipeline_terminate process. An attacker can trigger a kernel warning and potentially cause a denial of service by invoking streaming operations on stopped or uninitialized entities.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
