Improper resource shutdown or release in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-45871

Published: May 28, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU132619
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-45871
CWE-ID: CWE-404
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper resource shutdown or release in st33zp24_send() in the st33zp24 TPM driver when handling a get_burstcount() timeout error. A local user can trigger the error condition to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because locality acquired earlier is not released when get_burstcount() returns -EBUSY on timeout.
