CVE-2026-64356

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XFS filesystem. This vulnerability occurs during the creation of XFS metadata directories, where a failure in the creation process or a subsequent commit can lead to a memory leak. This leak results in allocated update and transaction state not being properly released, and an inode reference being left behind. Over time, this can lead to resource exhaustion and potentially cause the system to become unresponsive, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
