If the later proxy step fails, the error path only freed the label\nmemory, leaking any resources initialized by aa_label_init().\n\nUse aa_label_free() on the failure path so partially initialized labels\nrelease their secid and other label resources before the backing memory is\nfreed.","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":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/654fe7505dc6889724d4094fa64f89991afabfc3","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6d91479174240f39e9edea250d95fa08c678a207","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7cb69e109610bba500e1ecb870f7988a4717208a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ae02e603c0b39b29f3ce6fe3efe01b286af1a2a4","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b14fbacad77d64594228983ec20d61a224f3f491"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:48:17.459049833+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-72459","score":0.00139,"percentile":0.03224,"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).
