Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to a memory leak in the
go7007 load encoder function. This leak occurs because bounce (i.e., go->boot fw) is allocated without being deallocated afterwards. The leak happens after a specific call chain: saa7134 go7007 init -> go7007 boot encoder -> go7007 load encoder -> kfree(go), where go is freed, resulting in the leak of bounce. This could potentially allow an attacker to cause a denial of service.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
