This corrupts the driver state: subsequent start_feed calls\nsee nfeeds > 1 and skip starting the mux, while stop_feed calls\neventually try to stop a non-existent stream.\n\nThis state corruption can also lead to memory leaks, since the mux\nand channel resources may be partially allocated during a failed\nstart_streaming but never cleaned up, as the stop path finds\ndvb->streaming == false and returns early.\n\nFix by decrementing nfeeds back when start_streaming fails, keeping\nthe counter in sync with the actual number of active feeds.\n\n[1]\nBUG: memory leak\nunreferenced object 0xffff888145b50820 (size 32):\n comm \"syz.0.17\", pid 6068, jiffies 4294944486\n backtrace (crc 90a0c7d4):\n  vidtv_psi_service_desc_init+0x74/0x1b0 drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_psi.c:288\n  vidtv_channel_s302m_init+0xb1/0x2a0 drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_channel.c:83\n  vidtv_channels_init+0x1b/0x40 drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_channel.c:524\n  vidtv_mux_init+0x516/0xbe0 drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_mux.c:518\n  vidtv_start_streaming drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_bridge.c:194 [inline]\n  vidtv_start_feed+0x33e/0x4d0 drivers/media/test-drivers/vidtv/vidtv_bridge.c:239","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-401"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/17cb7957c979529cc98ff57f7ac331532f1f7c83","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/25f19e476ab15defe698504212899fdb9f7cd61b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4bf95f797edd63c93330eafb6d6e670982344b9b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/60f768d46df561e06d92ffcacc00909f37a0f23d","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/80900b5424f3454256153ce386388df43b324f63"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:09.003606135+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-31585","score":0.00125,"percentile":0.022,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
