Overview

CVE-2026-97545 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 25, 2026.

Technical description

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

xfs: don't leak new_bp if xfs_btree_bload_drop_buf fails

LOLLM observes that in xfs_btree_bload_prep_block,

xfs_btree_bload_drop_buf can hit an IO error if writing the delwri

buffer list to disk fails. In this case, we fail to release new_bp,

which means we lose a locked buffer. Fix that.
