Summary
CVE-2026-31585 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.137.1-1
Details

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 vidtvpsiservicedescinit [1].

When vidtvstartstreaming() fails inside vidtvstartfeed(), the nfeeds counter is left incremented even though no feed was actually started. This corrupts the driver state: subsequent startfeed calls see nfeeds > 1 and skip starting the mux, while stopfeed 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.
