This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

media: ti: vpe: quiesce overflow recovery before freeing streams

The VIP overflow recovery worker is armed from the hardirq handler when a

FIFO overflow is detected, and the list-complete path looks the stream up

through the VPDMA list private pointer. Both keep touching stream, port

and device state; the recovery worker also resets the parser and VPDMA,

repopulates the descriptor list, and re-enables the per-list IRQs.

vip_stop_streaming() masks and clears the per-list IRQs, but it neither

synchronizes the hardirq handler nor disables recovery_work. An overflow

IRQ that has already queued recovery_work, or a list-complete IRQ in

flight when the stream is torn down, can therefore still dereference the

stream after its resources are released: the descriptor list is freed by

vip_release_stream() on file release, and the stream itself by

free_stream() on unbind/remove.

Drain the recovery worker and the IRQ handler at

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-89875?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-89875 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.
