CVE-2026-53065
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: sti: use managed regmap_field allocations
The regmap_field objects allocated at player init are never freed and
may leak resources if the driver is removed.
Switch to devm_regmap_field_alloc() to automatically limit the lifetime
of the allocations the lifetime of the device.
Summary dbcve.org
The ASoC sti driver allocates regmap_field objects during player initialization but never frees them, causing resource leaks when the driver is removed. The fix involves switching from regmap_field_alloc() to devm_regmap_field_alloc() for automatic lifetime management.
Mitigation
Replace manual regmap_field_alloc() calls with devm_regmap_field_alloc() to ensure proper cleanup when the driver or device is removed.
