Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-06-18 12:09:15 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: tw686x: Fix memory leak in tw686x_video_init

video_device_alloc() allocates memory for vdev,
when video_register_device() fails, it doesn't release the memory and
leads to memory leak, call video_device_release() to fix this.
