CVE-2022-49924

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A potential memory leak has been identified in the Linux kernel's NFC subsystem, specifically in the fdp nci send() function. This function calls fdp nci i2c write(), which does not free the skb variable, resulting in a memory leak when fdp nci i2c write() finishes. To fix this issue, fdp nci send() should free the skb variable after fdp nci i2c write() has completed.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
