CVE-2026-23464
Published: April 3, 2026· Updated: Apr 7, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: microchip: mpfs: Fix memory leak in mpfs_sys_controller_probe()
In mpfs_sys_controller_probe(), if of_get_mtd_device_by_node() fails,
the function returns immediately without freeing the allocated memory
for sys_controller, leading to a memory leak.
Fix this by jumping to the out_free label to ensure the memory is
properly freed.
Also, consolidate the error handling for the mbox_request_channel()
failure case to use the same label.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-23464 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
