CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2026-45887
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix memleak of newsk in unix_stream_connect().
When prepare_peercred() fails in unix_stream_connect(),
unix_release_sock() is not called for newsk, and the memory
is leaked.
Let's move prepare_peercred() before unix_create1().
