CVE-2026-43419
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: fix memory leaks in ceph_mdsc_build_path() Add __putname() calls to error code paths that did not free the "path" pointer obtained by __getname().
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: ceph: fix memory leaks in ceph_mdsc_build_path() Add __putname() calls to error code paths that did not free the "path" pointer obtained by __getname().
