Media: TI VPE Kernel Driver Registration Failure

Publication date: 2026-08-10

Last updated on: 2026-08-10

Assigner: kernel.org

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().

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in the Linux kernel occurs when the vpe_top resource is missing during probe. The vpe_probe function returns an error after successfully registering a V4L2 device, but the device remains registered because the remove callback is not called on probe failures. This leaves the device in an inconsistent state.

Impact Analysis

This could lead to resource leaks or unexpected behavior in media device handling. Systems relying on video processing may experience crashes, instability, or incorrect device initialization if the probe fails but the device remains registered.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the Linux kernel to the latest patched version to resolve the media: ti: vpe driver issue where v4l2 device registration fails to unwind properly.
