Consequently, error paths triggered after\nsuccessfully parsing the EEPROM free priv->nvm_data but leak\npriv->eeprom_blob.\n\nFix this memory leak by reordering the error handling labels so\nthat out_free_eeprom falls through to out_free_eeprom_blob.\n\nThe bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are\ndeveloping for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing\nv6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly\navailable. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still\npresent in v7.1-rc6.\n\nAn x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have\nsupported Intel DVM wireless hardware and firmware to test with, no\nruntime testing was able to be performed.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2d593f32efa9ff1c91c508f45eb709c03dfb4945","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/67105abd6195a685a84dcb8a5daf54a1f4bfdb60","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7be73911d979bb0f54485c2292043a5703fdc953","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/84ba017a1e1ea7896ed1e3258c947bdbfc5299c5","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ad2a9fdca4a7100472be82ee6048c616fc589720"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-80948","score":0.00219,"percentile":0.12287,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
