CVE-2026-43223: media: pvrusb2: fix URB leak in pvr2_send_request_ex

Q: Which systems are exposed to this issue?

Systems using the Linux kernel pvrusb2 media driver are exposed. Exploitation requires local access with low privileges; the provided data does not identify whether the driver is enabled or loaded by default.

Q: What does an attacker need to trigger the flaw?

An attacker needs local access and low privileges. The failure condition occurs when a write URB submission succeeds but submission of the corresponding read URB fails, such as with an -ENOMEM error.

Q: What is the impact if the issue is triggered?

The active write URB can be reused before it completes, causing an "URB submitted while active" warning when usb_submit_urb() is called. The assigned CVSS vector indicates availability impact only, with no stated confidentiality or integrity impact.

Q: What should teams do if they cannot patch immediately?

The provided remediation is to apply the available patch. No alternative mitigation or workaround is specified in the provided data.

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

media: pvrusb2: fix URB leak in pvr2sendrequestex

When pvr2sendrequestex() submits a write URB successfully but fails to submit the read URB (e.g. returns -ENOMEM), it returns immediately without waiting for the write URB to complete. Since the driver reuses the same URB structure, a subsequent call to pvr2sendrequestex() attempts to submit the still-active write URB, triggering a 'URB submitted while active' warning in usbsubmiturb().

Fix this by ensuring the write URB is unlinked and waited upon if the read URB submission fails.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which systems are exposed to this issue?

Systems using the Linux kernel pvrusb2 media driver are exposed. Exploitation requires local access with low privileges; the provided data does not identify whether the driver is enabled or loaded by default.

What does an attacker need to trigger the flaw?

An attacker needs local access and low privileges. The failure condition occurs when a write URB submission succeeds but submission of the corresponding read URB fails, such as with an -ENOMEM error.

What is the impact if the issue is triggered?

The active write URB can be reused before it completes, causing an "URB submitted while active" warning when usb_submit_urb() is called. The assigned CVSS vector indicates availability impact only, with no stated confidentiality or integrity impact.

What should teams do if they cannot patch immediately?

The provided remediation is to apply the available patch. No alternative mitigation or workaround is specified in the provided data.
