What is known
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: verisilicon: Avoid G2 bus error while decoding H.264 and HEVC For the i.MX8MQ platform, there is a hardware limitation: the g1 VPU and g2 VPU cannot decode simultaneously; otherwise, it will cause below bus error and produce corrupted pictures, even potentially lead to system hang. [ 110.527986] hantro-vpu 38310000.video-codec: frame decode timed out. [ 110.583517] hantro-vpu 38310000.video-codec: bus error detected. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that g1 and g2 operate alternately. This allows for successful multi-instance decoding of H.264 and HEVC. To achieve this, g1 and g2 share the same v4l2_m2m_dev, and then the v4l2_m2m_dev can handle the scheduling.
Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-43310, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.5) affecting linux kernel, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
Recommended administrator action
Confirm whether linux kernel is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
