      <title>CVE-2026-97973 — net: macb: destroy the phylink instance on the probe error path</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-97973</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;net: macb: destroy the phylink instance on the probe error path&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;macb_mii_init() creates a phylink instance on both of its success paths,
but the probe unwind frees the netdev without destroying it, so a failing
macb_alloc_tieoff() or register_netdev() leaks the instance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Destroy it at err_out_unregister_mdio, which is only reachable once
macb_mii_init() has succeeded, so bp-&amp;gt;phylink is valid there.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
