Memory leak in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-93126

Vulnerability identifier: #VU150878

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-93126

CWE-ID: CWE-401

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to leak device node references.

The vulnerability exists due to a missing release of a device node reference in the adsp_map_carveout function when calling of_parse_phandle_with_args(). A local user can cause the function to process a device-tree phandle to leak device node references.
