Description SMASH SMASH 2024-02-06 11:58:03 UTC 
A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's media/dvb-core in dvbdmx_write() function. This can result in a null pointer dereference issue, possibly leading to a kernel panic or denial of service issue.

Comment 6 Takashi Iwai 2024-03-04 10:56:01 UTC 
The upstream doesn't fix this, and the suggested bug is harmless in practice, as there is already another mutex held in the code path in drivers/media/dvb-core/dmxdev.c.

This should be disputed / WONTFIX.

Reasigned back to security team.

Agreed for WONTFIX, closing
