Description

1) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-45976)
CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to a memory leak in amdgpu_ras_init() when handling an error from amdgpu_nbio_ras_sw_init(). A local user can trigger the vulnerable initialization path to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs because an allocated con structure is not freed before the function returns an error.
