GHSA-GR54-F9VX-R2H8

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-17 15:30 – Updated: 2025-09-17 15:30

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

staging: pi433: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()

When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it, otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic at once. This requires saving off the root directory dentry to make creation of individual device subdirectories easier.
