CVE-2025-37980: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: fix resource leak in blk_register_queue() error path When registering a queue fails after blk_mq_sysfs_register() is successful but the function later encounters an error, we need to clean up the blk_mq_sysfs resources. Add the missing blk_mq_sysfs_unregister() call in the error path to properly clean up these resources and prevent a memory leak.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 3.13, before 6.6.88 (fixed in 6.6.88); from 6.7, before 6.12.25 (fixed in 6.12.25); from 6.13, before 6.14.4 (fixed in 6.14.4); version 6.15 only
