Subject: CVE-2026-43104: drm/vc4: Fix a memory leak in hang state error path
Date: Wed, 6 May 2026 09:41:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026050622-CVE-2026-43104-e797@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
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.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-43104 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
