CVE-2026-45926

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

Description A memory leak occurs during the initialization of a PWM chip when using the pwmchip alloc() function. The allocated device holds an initial reference that requires release on all error paths. If the pinned init() function fails, the pwm chip is leaked because the error path returns without executing the pwmchip put() function.

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