CVE-2024-50175: media: qcom: camss: Remove use_count guard in stop_streaming

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.23% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 25f18cb1b673220b76a86ebef8e7fb79bd303b27, a975db8aea152f9907aa53a7f517e557ccb40da3, c2218a82f795dc3d0b6210bcaa3d9c5ca736fcd9.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 7.8, NVD 5.5.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 25f18cb1b673220b76a86ebef8e7fb79bd303b27, a975db8aea152f9907aa53a7f517e557ccb40da3, c2218a82f795dc3d0b6210bcaa3d9c5ca736fcd9 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: qcom: camss: Remove use_count guard in stop_streaming The use_count check was introduced so that multiple concurrent Raw Data Interfaces RDIs could be driven by different virtual channels VCs on the CSIPHY input driving the video pipeline. This is an invalid use of use_count though as use_count pertains to the number of times a video entity has been opened by user-space not the number of active streams. If use_count and stream-on count don't agree then stop_streaming() will break as is currently the case and has become apparent when using CAMSS with libcamera's released softisp 0.3. The use of use_count like this is a bit hacky and right now breaks regular usage of CAMSS for a single stream case. Stopping qcam results in the splat below, and then it cannot be started again and any attempts to do so fails with -EBUSY. [ 1265.509831] WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 919 at drivers/media/common/videobuf2/videobuf2-core.c:2183 __vb2_queue_cancel+0x230/0x2c8 [videobuf2_common] ...

Either way refusing to release video buffers based on use_count is erroneous and should be reverted. The silicon enabling code for selecting VCs is perfectly fine. Its a "known missing feature" that concurrent VCs won't work with CAMSS right now. Initial testing with this code didn't show an error but, SoftISP and "real" usage with Google Hangouts breaks the upstream code pretty quickly, we need to do a partial revert and take another pass at VCs. This commit partially reverts commit 89013969e232 ("media: camss: sm8250: Pipeline starting and stopping for multiple virtual channels")
