CVE-2026-64060
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfs: Fix leak of request in netfs_write_begin() error handling Fix netfs_write_begin() to not leak our ref on the request in the event that we get an error from netfs_wait_for_read().
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.16%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
