Official Description

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

media: mtk-mdp: Fix error handling in probe function

Add mtk_mdp_unregister_m2m_device() on the error handling path to prevent

resource leak.

Add check for the return value of vpu_get_plat_device() to prevent null

pointer dereference. And vpu_get_plat_device() increases the reference

count of the returned platform device. Add platform_device_put() to

prevent reference leak.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-43207 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.8.
