Overview

CVE-2026-23033 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on January 31, 2026.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dmaengine: omap-dma: fix dma_pool resource leak in error paths

The dma_pool created by dma_pool_create() is not destroyed when

dma_async_device_register() or of_dma_controller_register() fails,

causing a resource leak in the probe error paths.

Add dma_pool_destroy() in both error paths to properly release the

allocated dma_pool resource.
