CVE-2026-97606— fs: autofs: fix memory leak in autofs_fill_super()

Quick assessment

Linux Linux
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

在 Linux 内核中，已修复以下漏洞： 文件系统（fs）：autofs：修复 autofs_fill_super() 中的内存泄漏 在 autofs_fill_super() 函数中，我们通过调用 autofs_new_in() 创建一个新的 inode。然而，如果创建 root_inode 失败（即 root_inode 失败路径），代码会直接返回 -ENOMEM，而未释放之前创建的新 inode（ino），从而导致内存泄漏。 为解决此问题，在返回 -ENOMEM 之前，于 root_inode 失败路径中调用

Vulnerability Title
fs: autofs: fix memory leak in autofs_fill_super()
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs: autofs: fix memory leak in autofs_fill_super() In autofs_fill_super(), we create a new inode using autofs_new_ino(), however, if we fail to create root_inode, (that is, root_inode failure path), we return -ENOMEM without freeing the new inode(ino) that we created causing a memory leak. Fix this by adding autofs_free_ino() to free the inode we created in root_inode failure path before returning ENOMEM.
