UNKNOWN NVD
CVE-2026-98710
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlegacy: 3945: free EEPROM data on remove il3945_pci_probe() calls il_eeprom_init()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlegacy: 3945: free EEPROM data on remove
il3945_pci_probe() calls il_eeprom_init(), which allocates memory for
the EEPROM data. The probe failure paths release this allocation with
il_eeprom_free(), but the remove path does not free it after a
successful probe.
As a result, the EEPROM data is leaked when the PCI device is removed.
Free the EEPROM data in il3945_pci_remove() before releasing the
mac80211 hardware structure.
This issue was found by manual code inspection.
