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

media: vsp1: Replace vb2_is_streaming() with vb2_start_streaming_called()

The vsp1 driver uses the vb2_is_streaming() function in its .buf_queue()
handler to check if the .start_streaming() operation has been called,
and decide whether to just add the buffer to an internal queue, or also
trigger a hardware run. vb2_is_streaming() relies on the vb2_queue
structure's streaming field, which used to be set only after calling the
.start_streaming() operation.

Commit a10b21532574 ("media: vb2: add (un)prepare_streaming queue ops")
changed this, setting the .streaming field in vb2_core_streamon() before
enqueuing buffers to the driver and calling .start_streaming(). This
broke the vsp1 driver which now believes that .start_streaming() has
been called when it hasn't, leading to a crash:
