The kernel's deferred probe\nmechanism handles the retry successfully, but the netdevs allocated during\nthe failed probe attempt are never freed, resulting in kmemleak reports\nshowing multiple leaked netdev-related allocations all traced back to\ndpaa2_caam_probe().\n\nFix this by preserving the CPU mask of allocated netdevs during setup and\nusing it for cleanup in dpaa2_dpseci_free(). This approach ensures that\nonly the CPUs that actually had netdevs allocated will be cleaned up,\navoiding potential issues with CPU hotplug scenarios.","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/7d43252b3060b0ba4a192dce5dba85a3f39ffe39","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d5c6f254528caf78d5de7d9646dc21c81d351827","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d7decb572b55d2af33e59e9858fcee5d9ae69175","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e144cce29851610ce9c6eda405ce21118779aa51"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:36:28.938604137+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-45900","score":0.00156,"percentile":0.04667,"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).
