Overview

CVE-2026-68224 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 10, 2026.

Technical description

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

media: mali-c55: Fix possible ERR_PTR in enable_streams

The media_pad_remote_pad_unique() function returns either a valid

pointer or an ERR_PTR() on failure (-ENOTUNIQ if multiple links are

enabled, -ENOLINK if no connected pad is found). The return value

was assigned directly to isp->remote_src and dereferenced in the

next line without checking for errors, which could lead to an

ERR_PTR dereference.

Add proper error checking with IS_ERR() before dereferencing the

pointer. Also set isp->remote_src to NULL on error to maintain

consistency with other error paths in the function.
