CVE-2026-72259

Published Aug 15, 2026 EPSS 0.20% (10th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-72259 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical Description

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

ASoC: mediatek: mt8192: Release reserved memory on cleanup

The MT8192 AFE probe calls of_reserved_mem_device_init() and falls

back to preallocated buffers when no reserved memory region is

available. When the reserved memory assignment succeeds, however, the

driver never releases it.

Register a devm cleanup action after a successful reserved-memory

assignment so the assignment is released on probe failure and driver

unbind.

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.
