CVE-2026-45900

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: caam - fix netdev memory leak in dpaa2_caam

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: caam - fix netdev memory leak in dpaa2_caam_probe When commit 0e1a4d427f58 ("crypto: caam: Unembed net_dev structure in dpaa2") converted embedded net_device to dynamically allocated pointers, it added cleanup in dpaa2_dpseci_disable() but missed adding cleanup in dpaa2_dpseci_free() for error paths. This causes memory leaks when dpaa2_dpseci_dpio_setup() fails during probe due to DPIO devices not being ready yet. The kernel's deferred probe mechanism handles the retry successfully, but the netdevs allocated during the failed probe attempt are never freed, resulting in kmemleak reports showing multiple leaked netdev-related allocations all traced back to dpaa2_caam_probe().

Fix this by preserving the CPU mask of allocated netdevs during setup and using it for cleanup in dpaa2_dpseci_free(). This approach ensures that only the CPUs that actually had netdevs allocated will be cleaned up, avoiding potential issues with CPU hotplug scenarios.

How to read a CVE - triage first, then detect and patch
This page is every public fact about CVE-2026-45900, cross-linked. Its job is to answer one question fast - does this need my attention now? - and then hand you the two things you do about it. Here is how an analyst reads it.
Triage: should I act now? Four signals, and they are not interchangeable:
CVSSseverity - how bad it is IF exploited, 0-10. A high CVSS alone is not urgency; a flaw can be a perfect 10 and never actually be attacked. EPSSprobability - a model’s estimate of the chance it is exploited in the next 30 days, 0-1. This is the “will it actually happen” signal. CISA KEVconfirmed - it is being exploited in the wild right now. The strongest signal on the page; KEV beats any score. Weaponisedavailability - public exploits / PoCs, and especially Metasploit modules rated Excellent / Great. Reliable, packaged exploit code means low-skill attackers can use it today.
How they combine: KEV, or a dependable Metasploit module, means patch now regardless of CVSS. High CVSS + low EPSS + no exploit is real but not an emergency - schedule it. Low CVSS but KEV-listed still gets patched now. The verdict above already weighed these for you; this is how it got there.
Then what - two workflows:
Detectwhen you cannot patch today, follow this CVE to the ATT&CK techniques it enables, then Build a SIEM detection (the green button) - author a rule, test it in Atomic, deploy it. That buys visibility while the patch waits. PatchAffected products / packages tell you if you are exposed; Fixed versions by distribution and Vendor advisories give the exact version that closes it.
Reading order for the panels below: verdict + badges, then Public exploits / Metasploit (is it weaponised), then ATT&CK techniques + Sigma / IDS rules (can I detect it), then Affected products / packages + Fixed versions (am I exposed, what patches it), then Threat actors / IOCs (who uses it), then Scoring & timeline / references (the evidence).
