Overview

CVE-2026-97514 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 24, 2026.

Technical description

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

media: chips-media: wave5: Fix Reports from Kernel Lock Validator

handle_dynamic_resolution change requires that the state_lock be acquired

based on the lockdep_assert_held. However, the

handle_dynamic_resolution_change call in initialize_sequence does not

properly obtain the lock before calling.

Since the v4l2_ctrl_find and s_ctrl can sleep, they should not be called

while a lock is already held. Store off the fbc_buf_count then properly

update control once lock has been freed.
