This ensures the\nreference is properly released on this error path.","published":"2026-08-15T06:21:30.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-17T06:18:12.000Z","status":"Received","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":null,"cwe":[],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00198,"percentile":0.09449,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"unknown","text":"Not yet scored.
