CVE-2026-43104 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vc4: Fix a memory leak in hang state error path When vc4_save_hang_state() encounters an early return condition, it returns without freeing the previously allocated `kernel_state`, leaking memory. Add the missing kfree() calls by consolidating the early return paths into a single place.. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
