Technical description

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

media: i2c: hi846: Fix memory leak in hi846_parse_dt()

If any of the checks related to the supported link frequencies fail, then

the V4L2 fwnode resources don't get released before returning, which leads

to a memleak. Fix this by properly freeing the V4L2 fwnode data in a

designated label.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
