      <title>CVE-2026-98831 — of/overlay: don't leak fragment references when changeset init fails</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-98831</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;of/overlay: don&amp;#39;t leak fragment references when changeset init fails&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;init_overlay_changeset() stores the number of initialized fragments
in ovcs-&amp;gt;count only on full success. When find_target() or the
__symbols__ lookup fails partway through, the target and overlay
references taken for the fragments initialized so far are never
dropped: free_overlay_changeset() bounds its cleanup loop by
ovcs-&amp;gt;count, which is still 0.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Store the running count on the error path so free_overlay_changeset()
puts whatever was set up. The store is guarded by ovcs-&amp;gt;fragments
because on the allocation-failure path cnt still holds the counting
pass total while there is no fragments array; everywhere else cnt
only counts fully-initialized fragments.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
