CVE-2026-68225: Linux

EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: i2c: alvium: fix critical pointer access in alvium_ctrl_init The current implementation of alvium_ctrl_init creates several controls in function alvium_ctrl_init and uses the returned pointer without check. That can cause write access over NULL-pointer for several controls. The reworked code checks the pointers before adding flags.

Affected products

• Linux Linux: from 6.8, before 6.12.101 (fixed in 6.12.101); from 6.13, before 6.18.42 (fixed in 6.18.42); from 6.19, before 7.1.6 (fixed in 7.1.6)
