CVE-2026-43246
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: i2c/tw9906: Fix potential memory leak in tw9906_probe() In one of the error paths in tw9906_probe(), the memory allocated in v4l2_ctrl_handler_init() and v4l2_ctrl_new_std() is…
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.12%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: i2c/tw9906: Fix potential memory leak in tw9906_probe() In one of the error paths in tw9906_probe(), the memory allocated in v4l2_ctrl_handler_init() and v4l2_ctrl_new_std() is not freed. Fix that by calling v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() on the handler in that error path.
