It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-72484 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72484/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72484/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72484","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72484/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72484","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72484","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72484","GHSA-79gv-9p52-g5cr","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72484"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A double free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's MOST video driver allows local attackers to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nstaging: most: video: avoid double free on video register failure\n\ncomp_register_videodev() allocates a video_device with\nvideo_device_alloc() and releases it if video_register_device() fails.\n\nThis can double free the video_device when __video_register_device()\nreaches device_register() and that call fails:\n\n  video_register_device()\n    -\u003e __video_register_device()\n       -\u003e device_register() fails\n          -\u003e put_device(\u0026vdev-\u003edev)\n             -\u003e v4l2_device_release()\n                -\u003e vdev-\u003erelease(vdev)\n                   -\u003e video_device_release(vdev)\n\n  comp_register_videodev()\n    -\u003e video_device_release(mdev-\u003evdev)\n\nUse video_device_release_empty() while registering the device so that\nregistration failure paths do not free mdev-\u003evdev through vdev-\u003erelease().\ncomp_register_videodev() then releases mdev-\u003evdev exactly once on failure.\nRestore video_device_release() after successful registration so the\nregistered device keeps its normal lifetime handling.\n\nThis issue was found by a static analysis tool I am developing.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"staging: most: video: avoid double free on video register failure","id":"CVE-2026-72484","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"coresight: platform: defer connection counter increment until alloc succeeds","id":"CVE-2026-72485"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"usb: host: max3421: Fix shift-out-of-bounds in max3421_hub_control()","id":"CVE-2026-72483"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-15","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-17","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A double free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's MOST video driver allows local attackers to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72484/"}
