In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: iwlwifi: dvm: fix memory leak in iwl_op_mode_dvm_start()

In iwl_op_mode_dvm_start(), jumping to out_free_eeprom currently bypasses the out_free_eeprom_blob label. Consequently, error paths triggered after successfully parsing the EEPROM free priv->nvm_data but leak priv->eeprom_blob.

Fix this memory leak by reordering the error handling labels so that out_free_eeprom falls through to out_free_eeprom_blob.

The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in v7.1-rc6.

An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have supported Intel DVM wireless hardware and firmware to test with, no runtime testing was able to be performed.

Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer.

Data Freshness Timeline

(refreshed 15× in last 7d / 52× in last 30d)

Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). Most recent first.

A repeat, a row identical to one the same pipeline wrote less than 10 seconds earlier, is not a separate refresh and is not counted. 1 repeat row among the latest 61 is merged into the row it repeats.
