CVE-2026-72023

CVE-2026-72023 affects the Linux kernel’s octeontx2-pf driver. otx2_init_hw_resources() allocates SQ aura/pool resources before later setup steps, and on failure err_free_sq_ptrs frees only SQB pages, leaving per-SQ sqb_ptrs behind. The documented fix uses otx2_free_sq_res() for the SQ unwind pat...
