CVE-2026-45900

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

Description A memory leak occurs in the dpaa2 caam probe() function within the crypto CAAM module. The issue arises because cleanup logic was missing in the dpaa2 dpseci free() function for error paths after the net device structure was converted to dynamically allocated pointers. Specifically, when dpaa2 dpseci dpio setup() fails during the probe process because DPIO devices are not yet ready, the allocated netdevs are not freed. While the kernel's deferred probe mechanism allows for a successful retry, the allocations from the failed attempt remain in memory.

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