Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Improper resource shutdown or release (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68207)
CWE-ID: CWE-404 - Improper Resource Shutdown or Release
CVSSv4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper resource shutdown or release in the v4l2 device registration handling in vpe_probe() when probing the TI VPE driver with missing vpe_top resources. A local user can trigger device probing in this state to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs on an error path after v4l2_device_register() succeeds, leaving the v4l2 device registered when probe initialization fails.
Remediation
