As the comment of device_add() says, put_device() should be used\nto give up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling\nput_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanp().","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/41320b18a0e0dfb236dba4edb9be12dba1878156","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/461f8ac666fa232afee5ed6420099913ec4e4ba2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/58889d5ad74cbc1c9595db74e13522b58b69b0ec","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7723a5d5d187626c4c640842e522cf4e9e39492e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/789275f7c0544374d40bc8d9c81f96751a41df45"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:10:08.713834912+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-53436","score":0.00149,"percentile":0.04052,"date":"2026-11-01"},"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).
