{"id":"CVE-2026-72184","summary":"ntfs: fix hole runlist memory leak in insert range error path","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nntfs: fix hole runlist memory leak in insert range error path\n\nntfs_non_resident_attr_insert_range() allocates hole_rl before mapping the\nwhole runlist. If ntfs_attr_map_whole_runlist() fails, the error path drops\nni-\u003erunlist.lock and returns without freeing hole_rl. This leaks memory\nof sizeof(*hole_rl) * 2 bytes.\n\nFix this memory leak by freeing hole_rl before returning from\nthat error path, matching the later error paths in the same function.","modified":"2026-08-18T03:31:29.719029649Z","published":"2026-08-15T05:53:46.650Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/72xxx/CVE-2026-72184.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/06769b8f23b4b645b270c438649fff79768fb6fe"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7d7f72cb21a829682f6d8968af4fbe413789d1fd"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/72xxx/CVE-2026-72184.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72184"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"495e90fa334828d4119061e2726af51d0a0fb4ed"},{"fixed":"7d7f72cb21a829682f6d8968af4fbe413789d1fd"},{"fixed":"06769b8f23b4b645b270c438649fff79768fb6fe"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-72184.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"7.1.0"},{"fixed":"7.1.5"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-72184.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
