CVE-2026-53127

Status: AnalyzedMedium (5.5)—

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

block: fix zones_cond memory leak on zone revalidation error paths

When blk_revalidate_disk_zones() fails after disk_revalidate_zone_resources() has allocated args.zones_cond, the memory is leaked because no error path frees it.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
