In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: trigger: sysfs: fix possible memory leak in iio_sysfs_trig_init() dev_set_name() allocates memory for name, it need be freed when device_add() fails, call put_device() to give up the reference that hold in device_initialize(), so that it can be freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount hit to 0. Fault injection test can trigger this: unreferenced object 0xffff8e8340a7b4c0 (size 32): comm "modprobe", pid 243, jiffies 4294678145 (age 48.845s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 69 69 6f 5f 73 79 73 66 73 5f 74 72 69 67 67 65 iio_sysfs_trigge 72 00 a7 40 83 8e ff ff 00 86 13 c4 f6 ee ff ff r..@............ backtrace: [<0000000074999de8>] __kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x1e9/0x360 [<00000000497fd30b>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x44/0x1a0 [<000000003636c520>] kstrdup+0x2d/0x60 [<0000000032f84da2>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x1e/0x90 [<0000000092efe493>] dev_set_name+0x4e/0x70
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.5, requiring local system access to exploit with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction requiring only low-level privileges . The vulnerability impacts and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 1 product from linux organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2025, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For linux's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
