AnalysisCVE.org

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: mediatek: mt8192: Release reserved memory on cleanup

The MT8192 AFE probe calls of_reserved_mem_device_init() and falls back to preallocated buffers when no reserved memory region is available. When the reserved memory assignment succeeds, however, the driver never releases it.

Register a devm cleanup action after a successful reserved-memory assignment so the assignment is released on probe failure and driver unbind.

What every action level means
Emergency Immediate action required. Criteria: CRITICAL + in CISA KEV (actively exploited) without patch, OR CRITICAL + EPSS > 30% without patch, OR CRITICAL + active threat signals without patch.
Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Criteria: in KEV with patch available, OR CRITICAL + public POC, OR HIGH + EPSS > 10%, OR CRITICAL + active threat, OR any CRITICAL severity.
This Week Schedule remediation this week. Criteria: HIGH severity (CVSS 7.0-8.9). Patch within normal change window.
This Month Plan within 30 days. Criteria: MEDIUM severity (CVSS 4.0-6.9), lower exploitation probability. Include in regular patch cycle.
Monitor Track and reassess. Criteria: LOW severity (CVSS 0.1-3.9), minimal exploitation risk. No immediate action needed.
