CVE-2022-45887

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions through 6.0.9

Description An issue in the Linux kernel is related to a memory leak in the drivers/media/usb/ttusb-dec/ttusb dec.c component due to the lack of a dvb frontend detach call. This can potentially allow an attacker to perform a denial-of-service attack.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions through 6.0.9, consider updating to a version that includes a fix for the memory leak issue in the drivers/media/usb/ttusb-dec/ttusb dec.c component. As a temporary workaround, restricting access to the vulnerable component may help minimize the risk of exploitation.
