This leaks memory each\ntime dao_clear_input() is called.\n\nStore the base pointer of the allocation before clearing the mapper\nentries and free the array after removing entries from the list.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0919d8dd19f92e12829055c75fced9a454d644bf","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/593d46fc6af9a0178a46e77d6d24b20d2314165f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f7dc71c1ce885f5d9f128037ebc75d9c0356e060"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-23T16:39:28.036610720+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-99068","score":0.00166,"percentile":0.05842,"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).
