CVE-2026-23137 is a memory leak in the Linux kernel device-tree unit-test function unittest_data_add(). If of_resolve_phandles() fails, allocated unittest_data memory is not freed on the error path. Repeated triggering may exhaust memory and degrade system availability. The fix introduces scope-based cleanup through __free(kfree), with retain_and_null_ptr() transferring ownership to the device tree on successful execution.
