CVE-2026-68223CVE-2026-68223
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: meson: vdec: Fix memory leak in error path of vdec_open
The vdec_open() function previously jumped directly to
err_m2m_release when vdec_init_ctrls() failed, skipping
release of the m2m context. This caused a resource leak.
Fix it by introducing a proper err_m2m_ctx_release label
that calls v4l2_m2m_ctx_release(sess->m2m_ctx) before
releasing the m2m device.
This was identified via kmemleak:
unreferenced object 0xffff0000205d6878 (size 8):
comm "v4l_id", pid 5289, jiffies 4294938580
