Linux Kernel Vulnerability in Video Driver Management

CVE-2026-98915

What is CVE-2026-98915?

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's video driver management occurs during the driver removal process when using incorrect device unregistration procedures. To ensure proper disconnection of the vb2 queue, the function vb2_video_unregister_device() should be employed instead of video_unregister_device(). This adjustment helps maintain the integrity of resource management, preventing potential issues caused by improper driver disconnections.
