{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-72128","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet: fix refcount leak in nvmet_sq_create() In nvmet_sq_create(), a reference on the ctrl is taken via kref_get_unless_zero() before calling nvmet_check_sqid(). If nvmet_check_sqid() fails, the function returns the error directly without releasing the reference, leading to a leak. Fix this by jumping to the -ctrl_put- label, which already performs the necessary nvmet_ctrl_put(ctrl). This ensures the reference is properly released on this error path.","publishedAt":"2026-08-15T06:21:30","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-17T06:18:12","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72128","cvssScore":null,"cvssVector":"Pending","epssProbability":0.00198,"riskScore":0,"affectedProduct":"Linux kernel","affectedVersions":"unknown","vulnerabilityType":"Kernel","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-72128","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-72128","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-72128","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-72128","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-72128","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-72128","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-72128","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-72128"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72128"}}
