Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: ti: vpe: unwind v4l2 device registration on probe error If the vpe_top resource is missing, vpe_probe() returns -ENODEV after v4l2_device_register() has succeeded. Probe failures do not call the driver's remove callback, so the v4l2 device remains registered on that error path. Route that failure through the existing v4l2_device_unregister() unwind label, matching the other errors after v4l2_device_register().

Affected products

• Linux kernel: 5.5 — fixed in 7.2

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Linux kernel 7.2. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
