Further on, the sub-device's possible own\nnotifier is searched for possible additional matches.\n\nFix these specific issues:\n\n- If v4l2_async_match_notify() failed before the sub-notifier handling,\n  the async connection was unbound and its entry removed from the\n  sub-device's async connection list. The latter part was also done in\n  v4l2_async_match_notify().\n\n- The async connection's sd field was only set after creating ancillary\n  links in v4l2_async_match_notify(). It was however dereferenced in\n  v4l2_async_unbind_subdev_one(), which was called on error path of\n  v4l2_async_match_notify() failure.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2de0a3c8148fc3dbea21981e6569f550b3626119","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/30aaed311f973f13ba13a0cd2dc0202f595fff48","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/461733d83e67ba7e3a5b750c0d203f738e01244f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7345d6d356336c448d6b9230ed8704f39679fd12","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b02bcb378efa8af07827f49b3afcc5e825318c55"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:55.586217763+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-43189","score":0.00127,"percentile":0.02389,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
