CVE-2026-43269 Vulnerability Summary
CVE-2026-43269: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/atmel-hlcdc: fix memory leak from the atomic_destroy_state callback After several commits, the slab memory increases. Some drm_crtc_commit objects are not freed. The atomic_destroy_state callback only put the framebuffer. Use the __drm_atomic_helper_plane_destroy_state() function to put all the objects that are no longer needed. It has been seen after hours of usage of a graphics application or using kmemleak: unreferenced object 0xc63a6580 (size 64): comm "egt_basic", pid 171, jiffies 4294940784 hex dump (first 32 bytes): 40 50 34 c5 01 00 00 00 ff ff ff ff 8c 65 3a c6 @P4..........e:. 8c 65 3a c6 ff ff ff ff 98 65 3a c6 98 65 3a c6 .e:......e:..e:. backtrace (crc c25aa925): kmemleak_alloc+0x34/0x3c __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x150/0x1a4 drm_atomic_helper_setup_commit+0x1e8/0x7bc drm_atomic_helper_commit+0x3c/0x15c drm_atomic_commit+0xc0/0xf4 drm_atomic_helper_set_config+0x84/0xb8 drm_mode_setcrtc+0x32c/0x810 drm_ioctl+0x20c/0x488 sys_ioctl+0x14c/0xc20 ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x54
Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-43269
Access Complexity Graph
The exploitability of CVE-2026-43269 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-43269
No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-43269.
Understanding AC and PR
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
CVSS Score Breakdown Chart
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-43269, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
