That bypasses\nthe normal device lifetime handling and leaks the reference held on the\nembedded struct device.\n\nThe issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and\nconfirmed by manual review.\n\nFix this by using put_device() in the host1x_device_parse_dt() failure\npath.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3642d0a45214e3b4cf61bf5e75b04b490d0b3519","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4454caa204a2edb19c62754ddb96e5dbca0d2f49","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4ee41361c637eafa80f5d88b46d0016e6cdb24db","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8559b1501f77a5b5d003790bec170ca449e0c674","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a408d89e20d38d78f540e1951dc4c6056ad662e1"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72245","score":0.00231,"percentile":0.13954,"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).
