CVE-2026-89900CVE-2026-89900
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: cec: core: Fix kmemleak due to missed rc_free_device() call
The commit dccc0c3ddf8f ("media: rc: fix race between unregister and
urb/irq callbacks") removed the implicit call to rc_free_device() from
rc_unregister_device(). However, the commit missed to remove the NULL
assignment of adap->rc that is now causing rc_free_device() to never be
called on an allocated rc device.
kmemleak reports following after e.g. dw-hdmi unbind:
unreferenced object 0xffff00010ac10000 (size 4096):
