CVE-2026-72088

Published Aug 15, 2026 EPSS 0.21% (11th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-72088 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical Description

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

scsi: hpsa: Fix DMA mapping leak on IOACCEL2 reset path

If phys_disk->in_reset is set, the function returns directly without

undoing the resources acquired for the command. Add the missing error

cleanup by unmapping the IOACCEL2 SG chain block when needed, unmapping

the SCSI command, and dropping the outstanding IOACCEL command count

before returning.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
