Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: chips-media: wave5: Resume device before setting EOS flag
Setting the EOS flag talks to the firmware via send_firmware_command(),
which accesses VPU registers. Both the STREAMOFF path
(wave5_vpu_dec_job_abort()) and the V4L2_DEC_CMD_STOP path
(wave5_vpu_dec_stop()) can run while the device is runtime suspended, so
those register accesses hit powered-down hardware and the SoC raises an
asynchronous SError, panicking the kernel:
SError Interrupt on CPU3, code 0x00000000bf000000 -- SError
send_firmware_command+0x2c/0x160 [wave5]
wave5_vpu_dec_set_bitstream_flag+0x6c/0x80 [wave5]
wave5_vpu_dec_update_bitstream_buffer+0x80/0xec [wave5]
wave5_vpu_dec_job_abort+0x44/0xa0 [wave5]
v4l2_m2m_cancel_job+0x110/0x19c [v4l2_mem2mem]
v4l2_m2m_streamoff+0x24/0x140 [v4l2_mem2mem]
Resume the device with pm_runtime_resume_and_get() around the EOS
firmware command and release it with pm_runtime_put_autosuspen

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-89866?
CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-89866 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
