If ntfs_attr_map_whole_runlist() fails, the error path drops\nni->runlist.lock and returns without freeing hole_rl. This leaks memory\nof sizeof(*hole_rl) * 2 bytes.\n\nFix this memory leak by freeing hole_rl before returning from\nthat error path, matching the later error paths in the same function.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/06769b8f23b4b645b270c438649fff79768fb6fe","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7d7f72cb21a829682f6d8968af4fbe413789d1fd"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72184","score":0.00198,"percentile":0.09581,"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).
