      <title>CVE-2026-43328 — cpufreq: governor: fix double free in cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() error path</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-43328</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;cpufreq: governor: fix double free in cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() error path&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When kobject_init_and_add() fails, cpufreq_dbs_governor_init() calls
kobject_put(&amp;amp;dbs_data-&amp;gt;attr_set.kobj).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The kobject release callback cpufreq_dbs_data_release() calls
gov-&amp;gt;exit(dbs_data) and kfree(dbs_data), but the current error path
then calls gov-&amp;gt;exit(dbs_data) and kfree(dbs_data) again, causing a
double free.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keep the direct kfree(dbs_data) for the gov-&amp;gt;init() failure path, but
after kobject_init_and_add() has been called, let kobject_put() handle
the cleanup through cpufreq_dbs_data_release().&lt;/p&gt;</description>
