However, the early failure path after the first acquire_bus()\ncall uses a bare 'return ret;', which leaks dma_buffer whenever the bus\nacquire fails.\n\nReplace the early return with goto fail so the existing cleanup path\nruns.\n\nFound via a custom Coccinelle semantic patch hunting for kmalloc'd\nlocals leaked on early-return error paths in driver firmware-download\ncode.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-787"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/32d7584441b9ecb279a03653b432612546e5efbe","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/95c82d498d74c4e587db30021ca1aec90e29b5a5","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dd7b6a8671939708cc4b7a46786d8c11297e8f69"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:45:36.895656543+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-64145","score":0.00173,"percentile":0.06759,"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).
