CVE-2026-23330
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: nci: complete pending data exchange on device close In nci_close_device(), complete any pending data exchange before closing.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.12%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: nci: complete pending data exchange on device close In nci_close_device(), complete any pending data exchange before closing. The data exchange callback (e.g. rawsock_data_exchange_complete) holds a socket reference. NIPA occasionally hits this leak: unreferenced object 0xff1100000f435000 (size 2048): comm "nci_dev", pid 3954, jiffies 4295441245 hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 27 00 01 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 '..@............ backtrace (crc ec2b3c5): __kmalloc_noprof+0x4db/0x730 sk_prot_alloc.isra.0+0xe4/0x1d0 sk_alloc+0x36/0x760 rawsock_create+0xd1/0x540 nfc_sock_create+0x11f/0x280 __sock_create+0x22d/0x630 __sys_socket+0x115/0x1d0 __x64_sys_socket+0x72/0xd0 do_syscall_64+0x117/0xfc0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53
