CVE-2026-90340 PUBLISHED

pinctrl: generic: free maps on pinctrl_generic_to_map() failure

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 11.09.2026 Published: 17.09.2026 Updated: 17.09.2026

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

pinctrl: generic: free maps on pinctrl_generic_to_map() failure

pinctrl_generic_to_map() parses DT configuration and allocates pinctrl maps via pinctrl_utils_reserve_map().

If subsequent steps (such as pinctrl_utils_add_map_mux(), pinctrl_generic_add_group(), pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config(), or pinctrl_utils_add_map_configs()) return an error, maps may contain partially allocated map entries. Returning the error directly without freeing maps leaks the allocated mapping memory across all drivers that rely on pinctrl_generic_to_map().

Fix this by calling pinctrl_utils_free_map() and resetting maps, num_maps, and *num_reserved_maps in the error path of pinctrl_generic_to_map().
