If a subsequent error triggers a goto out_fail after\nthe tgtdev reference is acquired, the reference is never released\nbecause the out_fail path does not call mpi3mr_tgtdev_put(). This\nprevents the target device structure from ever being freed.\n\nAdd a tgtdev put in the out_fail path, guarded by a NULL check since\ntgtdev is only acquired for SAS_END_DEVICE types and the same cleanup\npath is shared by earlier error cases where tgtdev is still NULL.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-401"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/040146f81d099006a354b0caacc7f01ca00f257e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/06a7073b33b8f5cb0ee71e07dc669efffb1c7d58","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1ccbe8c42009706af79e6629c70d42fc929aef2b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/419d129f970aaa6567dbac366b0c93784bf9ec97","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/58e3d2fbc8c914ed3dce2f7d915b3c4f4a3c76fb"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-98128","score":0.00123,"percentile":0.02053,"date":"2026-10-26"},"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).
