Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68135)

CWE-ID: CWE-772 - Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime

CVSSv4: 4.8 [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]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a resource leak in the hip04_rx_poll() receive path when handling a build_skb() failure. A local user can trigger build_skb() failures to cause a denial of service.

The issue leaks an RX buffer and its DMA mapping when slot references are overwritten, and also involves a newly allocated RX fragment if dma_map_single() fails.
