CVE-2025-71186 is fixed in 14 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2025-71186, released January 31, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2025-71186 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 5.5 (medium) - EPSS: 0.0022 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Jan 31, 2026 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: stm32: dmamux: fix device leak on route allocation Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the DMA mux platform device during route allocation. Note that holding a reference to a device does not prevent its driver data from going away so there is no point in keeping the reference. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | dtb-aarch64 opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-64kb opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-64kb sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-azure opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-azure sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-default opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-default sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-default-base opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1.160000.2.8 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-default-base sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1.160000.2.8 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-docs opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-docs sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-kvmsmall opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-kvmsmall sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-obs-build opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-obs-qa opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-obs-qa sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-rt opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-source opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-source sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-syms opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-syms sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-zfcpdump opensuse-leap 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20416-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20416-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-zfcpdump sles 16.0 | 6.12.0-160000.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20931-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20931-1.md) | Mar 25, 2026 | | Linux | linux Debian 12.15 (bookworm) | 6.1.162-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2025-71186](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2025-71186.md) | Jan 31, 2026 | | Linux | linux Debian 13.5 (trixie) | 6.12.69-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2025-71186](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2025-71186.md) | Jan 31, 2026 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 6.18.8-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2025-71186](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2025-71186.md) | Jan 31, 2026 | --- Data as of 2026-11-09T13:31:49Z UTC.
