CVE-2026-43290
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: uvcvideo: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure
Return buffers if streaming fails to start due to uvc_pm_get() error.
This bug may be responsible for a warning I got running
on an xHCI controller which failed under this workload. I had no luck reproducing this warning again to confirm.
