CVE-2026-98553
En el kernel de Linux se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad:
autofs: corrige la fuga de referencia al archivo sbi->pipe en autofs_kill_sb()
Cuando autofs_fill_super() falla antes de limpiar AUTOFS_SBI_CATATONIC (por ejemplo, cuando find_get_pid() falla con una opción de montaje pgrp no válida, o cuando se cierra un fs_context antes de montar), deactivate_locked_super() invoca autofs_kill_sb() -> autofs_catatonic_mode(sbi).
Dado que AUTOFS_SBI_CATATONIC sigue activo en sbi->flags, autofs_catatonic_mode() retorna antes de tiempo sin llamar a fput(sbi->pipe), lo que provoca una fuga permanente de la referencia a la estructura struct file de la tubería.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
Liberar explícitamente sbi->pipe en autofs_kill_sb() si sigue siendo distinto de NULL tras autofs_catatonic_mode().
