In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: iris: Add buffer to list only after successful allocation Move to after succeeds when creating internal buffers. Previously, the buffer was enqueued in before the DMA allocation. If the allocation failed, the function returned while leaving a partially initialized buffer in the list, which could lead to inconsistent state and potential leaks. By adding the buffer to the list only after succeeds, we ensure the list contains only valid, fully initialized buffers.
