Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `media: stm32: dcmi` driver. When the `dcmi_graph_init()` function fails to initialize due to issues with `reset_control_assert()` or `reset_control_deassert()`, an asynchronous notifier is not properly unregistered. This oversight can lead to resource leaks, potentially causing system instability or a denial of service (DoS) condition.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-10 12:23:55 UTC
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.
