Which I think results from\nprealloc_cleanup() called without a preceding successful\nprealloc_allocate() call.  So handle that case better.\n\nPatchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/678677/","modified":"2026-05-15T04:13:47.835373543Z","published":"2025-12-04T16:08:10.696Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/40xxx/CVE-2025-40247.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/830d68f2cb8ab6fb798bb9555016709a9e012af0"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b865da18b6cb878f33b5920693d03f23b9c4d1a3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/40xxx/CVE-2025-40247.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-40247"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"3.12.0"},{"fixed":"6.17.10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2025-40247.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
