The vulnerability of the tdfxfb_checkvar() function in the drivers/video/fbdev/tdfxfb.c driver module of the Linux kernel’s frame buffer device driver allows a attacker to cause a service failure.

The vulnerability of the tdfxfbcheckvar function in the drivers/video/fbdev/tdfxfb.c driver for kernel-based frame buffer devices in the Linux operating system is related to zero-division errors. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause a service failure...

CVE-2026-72268

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's tdfxfb driver. Specifically, the tdfxfbprobe function, when the CONFIGFB3DFXI2C option is enabled, does not properly free memory allocated for the modelist in certain error handling paths. This oversight can lead to a memory leak, which a local attacker coul...

CVE-2026-72268

The CVE-2026-72268 entry concerns the Linux kernel fbdev driver tdfxfb. In tdfxfb_probe, memory is allocated for a modelist via fb_videomode_to_modelist() when CONFIG_FB_3DFX_I2C is defined, but this memory is not freed along error paths. The fix is to call fb_destroy_modelist() to release the al...
