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 has been found in Linux Kernel up to 6.6.147/6.12.100/6.18.41/7.1.5 and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is the function dcmi_graph_init of the component stm32_dcmi. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a use after free vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-416. Referencing memory after it has been freed can cause a program to crash, use unexpected values, or execute code. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: stm32: dcmi: unregister notifier on probe failure dcmi_graph_init() registers the async notifier before dcmi_probe() toggles the reset line. If reset_control_assert() or reset_control_deassert() fails afterwards, probe returns through err_cleanup and the driver core will not call dcmi_remove(). Unregister the notifier before cleaning it up on that error path, matching the successful remove path and the V4L2 async notifier lifetime rules. [hverkuil: added Fixes tag]

It is possible to read the advisory at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2026-68210 since 07/30/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. Attacking locally is a requirement.
