Subject: CVE-2026-72026: irqchip/irq-riscv-imsic-early: Fix fwnode leak on state setup failure
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 15:01:45 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026081510-CVE-2026-72026-3cc8@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/irq-riscv-imsic-early: Fix fwnode leak on state setup failure
imsic_early_acpi_init() allocates a firmware node before setting up the
IMSIC state. If imsic_setup_state() fails, the function returns without
freeing the allocated fwnode.
Free the fwnode and clear the global pointer on this error path, matching
the cleanup already done when imsic_early_probe() fails.
[ tglx: Use a common cleanup path instead of copying code around ]
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-72026 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
