From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> Description =========== In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: nuvoton: npcm-video: fix memory leaks in probe and remove npcm_video_probe() allocates the npcm_video structure with kzalloc_obj() but never frees it on any probe error path or in npcm_video_remove(), leaking the allocation on every failed probe and every normal unbind. Additionally, when npcm_video_setup_video() fails, the reserved memory association established by of_reserved_mem_device_init() in npcm_video_init() is not released, leaking the rmem_assigned_device entry on the global list. Fix both by adding kfree(video) to all probe error paths and to npcm_video_remove(), and adding the missing of_reserved_mem_device_release() call when npcm_video_setup_video() fails. The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-68221 to this issue.

Affected files ============== The file(s) affected by this issue are: drivers/media/platform/nuvoton/npcm-video.c 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: https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b092d690a9b28795ab2db083023e8a5368cddb22 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/181a0aeefd56f9285325b84789aa348aba0508bf https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/65ddc021d39d6383635ee8b0970b2d1c7947e447 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/50cc0e547da50b887e63dfa1ad203cd5b735d01e
