In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: nci: complete pending data exchange on device close In nci_close_device(), complete any pending data exchange before closing. The data exchange callback (e.g. rawsock_data_exchange_complete) holds a socket reference. NIPA occasionally hits this leak: unreferenced object 0xff1100000f435000 (size 2048): comm "nci_dev", pid 3954, jiffies 4295441245 hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 27 00 01 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 '..@............ backtrace (crc ec2b3c5): __kmalloc_noprof+0x4db/0x730 sk_prot_alloc.isra.0+0xe4/0x1d0 sk_alloc+0x36/0x760 rawsock_create+0xd1/0x540 nfc_sock_create+0x11f/0x280 __sock_create+0x22d/0x630 __sys_socket+0x115/0x1d0 __x64_sys_socket+0x72/0xd0 do_syscall_64+0x117/0xfc0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53
Grounded briefings
Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.
Executive
CVE-2026-23330 is a medium public vulnerability record for linux linux kernel. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.
System administrator
Identify whether linux linux kernel is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected packages or ranges on record: linux/linux kernel; linux/linux kernel (3.2); linux/linux kernel (7.0). Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.
Security analyst
Signals on file: CVSS 5.5, EPSS 0.1%. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Weakness classes: CWE-401. Sources contributing to this record: cve_org, epss, nvd.
