CVE-2026-68084

Local denial of service via location-monitor leak

Published Aug 10, 2026 · Updated Aug 10, 2026

Resource leak in the Linux kernel tsi148 bridge from 2.6.32 allows local users with administrative access to exhaust system resources. The tsi148_remove() teardown path frees DMA, slave, and master lists but omits tsi148_bridge->lm_resources allocated by tsi148_probe(). Triggering the leak requires administrative device unbind or module-unload operations; repeated teardown can degrade availability through resource exhaustion.
