Overview

CVE-2026-68225 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: i2c: alvium: fix critical pointer access in alvium_ctrl_init

The current implementation of alvium_ctrl_init creates several controls in

function alvium_ctrl_init and uses the returned pointer without check. That

can cause write access over NULL-pointer for several controls. The reworked

code checks the pointers before adding flags.
