CVE-2026-23256

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description An issue exists in the Linux kernel related to the liquidio component. Specifically, a flaw was identified in the setup nic devices() function where an off-by-one error in the cleanup loop can lead to a memory leak. The original cleanup loop, using while(i--), skips the failing index i, resulting in unreleased memory. The correction involves modifying the loop to iterate from the current index i down to 0. This issue was identified through code review and has been addressed.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
