It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-72268 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72268/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72268/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72268","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72268/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72268","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72268","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72268","GHSA-hqrv-q3c9-25x6","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72268"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A memory leak in the tdfxfb driver probe function can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service when specific I2C configurations are enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfbdev: tdfxfb: fix potential memory leak in tdfxfb_probe()\n\nIn tdfxfb_probe(), the memory allocated for modelist using\nfb_videomode_to_modelist() when CONFIG_FB_3DFX_I2C is defined, is not\nfreed in the subsequent error paths.\nFix that by calling fb_destroy_modelist().","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"fbdev: tdfxfb: fix potential memory leak in tdfxfb_probe()","id":"CVE-2026-72268","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"fbdev: uvesafb: fix potential memory leak in uvesafb_probe()","id":"CVE-2026-72269"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"fbdev: carminefb: fix potential memory leak in alloc_carmine_fb()","id":"CVE-2026-72267"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-15","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-17","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A memory leak in the tdfxfb driver probe function can lead to resource exhaustion and denial of service when specific I2C configurations are enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72268/"}
