CVE-2026-23421

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. This vulnerability is a memory leak within the drm/xe/configfs subsystem, where allocated memory for ctx_restore_mid_bb is not properly released when a configfs device is removed. A local attacker could exploit this by repeatedly creating and removing configfs devices, leading to a gradual depletion of system memory. This could result in system instability or a denial of service (DoS) condition.
