If this allocation fails, the function\nreturns -ENOMEM without freeing the previously allocated handler\nresources, leading to a memory leak.\n\nFix this by calling v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() on the ctx->ctrls allocation\nfailure path.\n\nThe bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are\ndeveloping for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing\nv6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly\navailable. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still\npresent in v7.1.1.\n\nAn x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have an\nAllwinner SoC or board with a Cedrus VPU available to test with, no\nruntime testing was able to be performed.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/22441be29ec27c693f40c1ef499093275ef529d1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6fabacc3b79a528450aef4c32464da2ec681049e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/729a1ffab968b3c493f61d1cd683f5bafec500ea","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/79fd0b0161506fc9507bf7a6fe4c975a857a5be8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/81aa608ac3a56cdd4aab0bd12442ed529a24ba31"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:54:41.405518556+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-89896","score":0.00211,"percentile":0.11189,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
