CVE-2025-68175 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2025-68175: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: nxp: imx8-isi: Fix streaming cleanup on release The current implementation unconditionally calls mxc_isi_video_cleanup_streaming() in mxc_isi_video_release(). This can lead to situations where any release call (like from a simple "v4l2-ctl -l") may release a currently streaming queue when called on such a device. This is reproducible on an i.MX8MP board by streaming from an ISI capture device using gstreamer: gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/videoX ! \ video/x-raw,format=GRAY8,width=1280,height=800,framerate=1/120 ! \ fakesink While this stream is running, querying the caps of the same device provokes the error state: v4l2-ctl -l -d /dev/videoX This results in the following trace: [ 155.452152] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 155.452163] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1708 at drivers/media/platform/nxp/imx8-isi/imx8-isi-pipe.c:713 mxc_isi_pipe_irq_handler+0x19c/0x1b0 [imx8_isi] [ 157.004248] Modules linked in: cfg80211 rpmsg_ctrl rpmsg_char rpmsg_tty virtio_rpmsg_bus rpmsg_ns rpmsg_core rfkill nft_ct nf_conntrack nf_defrag_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv4 nf_tables mcp251x6 [ 157.053499] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1708 Comm: python3 Not tainted 6.15.4-00114-g1f61ca5cad76 #1 PREEMPT [ 157.064369] Hardware name: imx8mp_board_01 (DT) [ 157.068205] pstate: 400000c5 (nZcv daIF -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 157.075169] pc : mxc_isi_pipe_irq_handler+0x19c/0x1b0 [imx8_isi] [ 157.081195] lr : mxc_isi_pipe_irq_handler+0x38/0x1b0 [imx8_isi] [ 157.087126] sp : ffff800080003ee0 [ 157.090438] x29: ffff800080003ee0 x28: ffff0000c3688000 x27: 0000000000000000 [ 157.097580] x26: 0000000000000000 x25: ffff0000c1e7ac00 x24: ffff800081b5ad50 [ 157.104723] x23: 00000000000000d1 x22: 0000000000000000 x21: ffff0000c25e4000 [ 157.111866] x20: 0000000060000200 x19: ffff80007a0608d0 x18: 0000000000000000 [ 157.119008] x17: ffff80006a4e3000 x16: ffff800080000000 x15: 0000000000000000 [ 157.126146] x14: 0000000000000000 x13: 0000000000000000 x12: 0000000000000000 [ 157.133287] x11: 0000000000000040 x10: ffff0000c01445f0 x9 : ffff80007a053a38 [ 157.140425] x8 : ffff0000c04004b8 x7 : 0000000000000000 x6 : 0000000000000000 [ 157.147567] x5 : ffff0000c0400490 x4 : ffff80006a4e3000 x3 : ffff0000c25e4000 [ 157.154706] x2 : 0000000000000000 x1 : ffff8000825c0014 x0 : 0000000060000200 [ 157.161850] Call trace: [ 157.164296] mxc_isi_pipe_irq_handler+0x19c/0x1b0 [imx8_isi] (P) [ 157.170319] __handle_irq_event_percpu+0x58/0x218 [ 157.175029] handle_irq_event+0x54/0xb8 [ 157.178867] handle_fasteoi_irq+0xac/0x248 [ 157.182968] handle_irq_desc+0x48/0x68 [ 157.186723] generic_handle_domain_irq+0x24/0x38 [ 157.191346] gic_handle_irq+0x54/0x120 [ 157.195098] call_on_irq_stack+0x24/0x30 [ 157.199027] do_interrupt_handler+0x88/0x98 [ 157.203212] el0_interrupt+0x44/0xc0 [ 157.206792] __el0_irq_handler_common+0x18/0x28 [ 157.211328] el0t_64_irq_handler+0x10/0x20 [ 157.215429] el0t_64_irq+0x198/0x1a0 [ 157.219009] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Address this issue by moving the streaming preparation and cleanup to the vb2 .prepare_streaming() and .unprepare_streaming() operations. This also simplifies the driver by allowing direct usage of the vb2_ioctl_streamon() and vb2_ioctl_streamoff() helpers, and removal of the manual cleanup from mxc_isi_video_release().

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2025-68175

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2025-68175 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2025-68175

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2025-68175.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2025-68175, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
