Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-06 13:09:19 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: i2c/tw9903: Fix potential memory leak in tw9903_probe()

In one of the error paths in tw9903_probe(), the memory allocated in
v4l2_ctrl_handler_init() and v4l2_ctrl_new_std() is not freed. Fix that
by calling v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() on the handler in that error path.
