SUSE CVE-2026-43157

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeontx2-af: CGX: fix bitmap leaks The RX/TX flow-control bitmaps rxfcpfvfbmap and txfcpfvfbmap are allocated by cgxlmacinit but never freed in cgxlmacexit. Unbinding and rebinding the driver therefore triggers kmemleak:...

CVE-2026-43157

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's octeontx2-af CGX driver. This vulnerability occurs because RX/TX flow-control bitmaps are allocated during initialization but are not properly freed when the driver is unbound and rebound. A local attacker could repeatedly unbind and rebind the driver, leadi...

CVE-2026-43157

Summary: CVE-2026-43157 affects the Linux kernel octeontx2-af CGX driver. The RX/TX flow-control bitmaps (rx_fc_pfvf_bmap, tx_fc_pfvf_bmap) are allocated during cgx_lmac_init() but not freed during cgx_lmac_exit(), enabling a kernel memory leak (kmemleak) when the driver is unbound and rebound. I...
