CVE-2026-64154
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Adreno graphics processing unit (GPU) driver. This vulnerability occurs in the a6xx_gpu_init() function, where a device node reference is not properly released under certain error conditions. This oversight can lead to a gradual accumulation of unreleased resources, potentially causing resource exhaustion over extended periods of operation. While not directly exploitable for arbitrary code execution, this resource management issue could impact system stability and availability.
