Summary
| CVE | CVE-2026-97440 |
| State | PUBLISHED |
| Assigner | Linux |
| Source Priority | CVE Program / NVD first with legacy fallback |
| Published | 2026-09-24 17:17:22 UTC |

| Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qrtr: fix node refcount leak on ctrl packet alloc failure
qrtr_send_resume_tx() calls qrtr_node_lookup() which takes a
reference on the returned node. If the subsequent call to
qrtr_alloc_ctrl_packet() fails due to memory allocation failure, the
function returns -ENOMEM without calling qrtr_node_release() to
release the node reference.
Add qrtr_node_release(node) before returning on the allocation failure
path to properly release the reference. |
