Overview

CVE-2026-43207 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 6, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical 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.

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.
