CVE-2026-72272

Published Aug 15, 2026 EPSS 0.21% (11th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-72272 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fbdev: radeon: fix potential memory leak in radeonfb_pci_register()

The function radeonfb_pci_register() allocates memory for modelist

(by calling radeon_check_modes() which calls fb_add_videomode()).

The memory is appended to info->modelist, but is not freed in subsequent

error paths. Fix this by calling fb_destroy_modelist().

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
