That bypasses\nthe normal device lifetime handling and leaks the reference held on the\nembedded struct device.\n\nThe issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and\nconfirmed by manual review.\n\nFix this by using put_device() in the host1x_device_parse_dt() failure\npath.","published":"2026-08-15T06:21:52.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-17T06:18:26.000Z","status":"Received","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":null,"cwe":[],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00231,"percentile":0.1378,"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.
