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-2026-99068/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-99068/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-99068","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-99068/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-99068","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-99068","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-99068","GHSA-8467-wmq7-xf7q","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-99068"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"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\nALSA: ctxfi: Fix memory leakage when clearing DAO input mappers\n\nCommit e576e7843c0d (\"ALSA: ctxfi: Simplify dao_clear_{left,right}_input() functions\")\ncentralized the DAO input mapper clearing logic in\ndao_clear_input(), but omitted the kfree() calls.\n\nIt removes the mapper entries from the list and sets their pointers\nto NULL without freeing the allocated array.
