Summary

In the Linux kernel, in the VPE driver for TI platforms, there is an issue where if the vpe_top resource is missing, vpe_probe() returns -ENODEV after v4l2_device_register() has succeeded. Since probe failures do not call the driver's remove callback, the v4l2 device remains registered on that error path.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to an inconsistent system state where the v4l2 device remains registered despite an error, potentially causing resource leaks or unpredictable driver behavior.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that routes the error path through the v4l2_device_unregister() unwind label to ensure proper cleanup.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: ti: vpe: unwind v4l2 device registration on probe error If the vpe_top resource is missing, vpe_probe() returns -ENODEV after v4l2_device_register() has succeeded. Probe failures do not call the driver's remove callback, so the v4l2 device remains registered on that error path. Route that failure through the existing v4l2_device_unregister() unwind label, matching the other errors after v4l2_device_register().
