As\ncomment of device_register() says, it should use put_device()\nto give up the reference in the error path. So fix this\nby calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in\nkobject_cleanup(), and sdevice is freed in siox_device_release(),\nset it to null in error path.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-401"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0a5da069603ecc3d7aa09167450235462adaa295","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5d03c2911c529ea4d6ebfec53425f1091e8d402b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6e63153db50059fb78b8a8447b132664887d24e3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a4b5423f88a17a36550ae8c16c46779b1ee42f4b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d9c31e728843259209fb530c59995e4fe262699f"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:01:22.920403922+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-49836","score":0.00202,"percentile":0.10224,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
