CVE-2026-43142

Published: May 6, 2026· Updated: May 6, 2026

EPSS:0.02%probability of exploitation in 30 daysPercentile:4.1th

Official Description

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

media: iris: gen1: Destroy internal buffers after FW releases

After the firmware releases internal buffers, the driver was not

destroying them. This left stale allocations that were no longer used,

especially across resolution changes where new buffers are allocated per

the updated requirements. As a result, memory was wasted until session

close.

Destroy internal buffers once the release response is received from the

firmware.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-43142 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
