CVE-2026-31585
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: vidtv: fix nfeeds state corruption on start_streaming failure
syzbot reported a memory leak in vidtv_psi_service_desc_init [1].
When vidtv_start_streaming() fails inside vidtv_start_feed(), the nfeeds counter is left incremented even though no feed was actually started. This corrupts the driver state: subsequent start_feed calls see nfeeds > 1 and skip starting the mux, while stop_feed calls eventually try to stop a non-existent stream.
This state corruption can also lead to memory leaks, since the mux and channel resources may be partially allocated during a failed start_streaming but never cleaned up, as the stop path finds dvb->streaming == false and returns early.

Fix by decrementing nfeeds back when start_streaming fails, keeping the counter in sync with the actual number of active feeds.
