CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Linux Kernel up to 6.6.147/6.12.100/6.18.41/7.1.5. Affected by this issue is the function vpe_probe of the component VPE. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a denial of service vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-404. The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use. Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

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().

The advisory is shared for download at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-68207 since 07/30/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploitation requires an enhanced level of successful authentication. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1499.

Upgrading to version 6.6.148, 6.12.101, 6.18.42, 7.1.6 or 7.2-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability.
