{"id":"CVE-2026-72263","summary":"ASoC: SOF: topology: fix memory leak in snd_sof_load_topology","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nASoC: SOF: topology: fix memory leak in snd_sof_load_topology\n\nWhen the topology filename contains \"dummy\" and tplg_cnt is 0, the\nfunction returns -EINVAL directly without freeing the tplg_files\nallocated by kcalloc() at line 2497. This leaks memory on every\nsuch topology load attempt.\n\nFix this by setting ret = -EINVAL and jumping to the out: label,\nwhich already handles the kfree(tplg_files) cleanup.","modified":"2026-08-18T03:31:26.228622386Z","published":"2026-08-15T05:54:50.265Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/72xxx/CVE-2026-72263.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6ed7787c43ecf4ae27a3e700cab53a1ed646c7f8"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d46f9f23897261da53ffbeb89d48a13982ba7d28"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/72xxx/CVE-2026-72263.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72263"},{"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":"99c159279c6dfa2c4867c7f76875f58263f8f43b"},{"fixed":"6ed7787c43ecf4ae27a3e700cab53a1ed646c7f8"},{"fixed":"d46f9f23897261da53ffbeb89d48a13982ba7d28"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-72263.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.19.0"},{"fixed":"7.1.5"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-72263.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
