From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: ti: vpe: unwind v4l2 device registration on probe error

If the vpe_top resource is missing, vpe_probe() returns -ENODEV after
v4l2_device_register() has succeeded. Probe failures do not call the
driver's remove callback, so the v4l2 device remains registered on that
error path.

Route that failure through the existing v4l2_device_unregister() unwind
label, matching the other errors after v4l2_device_register().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-68207 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
