CVE-2026-43246
Last modified
CVE-2026-43246 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
