CVE-2026-45939
Beschrijving NL
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpib: Fix memory leak in ni_usb_init()
In ni_usb_init(), if ni_usb_setup_init() fails, the function returns
-EFAULT without freeing the allocated writes buffer, leading to a
memory leak. Additionally, ni_usb_setup_init() returns 0 on failure, which causes
ni_usb_init() to return -EFAULT, an inappropriate error code for this
situation. Fix the leak by freeing writes in the error path. Modify
ni_usb_setup_init() to return -EINVAL on failure and propagate this
error code in ni_usb_init().
