CVE-2026-43242
MediumSummary
A vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel related to a regmap leak on probe failure. The allocated mmio regmap is never freed, which can lead to memory issues.
Risk Assessment
Failure to free memory may lead to resource exhaustion, which can ultimately affect the stability and performance of the system.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version to benefit from the fix that introduces device-managed allocation, allowing regmap to be released on probe failures.
