Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime (CVE-2026-23339)

medium Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 506292

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

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

nfc: nci: free skb on nci_transceive early error paths

nci_transceive() takes ownership of the skb passed by the caller, but the -EPROTO, -EINVAL, and -EBUSY error paths return without freeing it.

Due to issues clearing NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE fixed by subsequent changes the nci/nci_dev selftest hits the error path occasionally in NIPA, and kmemleak detects leaks:
