Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description A memory leak can occur in the Linux kernel when of genpd add provider onecell() fails during probe. This happens because generic power domains are not removed, potentially leading to a kernel crash later in genpd debug add(). The fix involves adding error handling to release initialized domains before returning from the probe function. A crash trace was observed without this fix, indicating a kernel paging request at a specific virtual address.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
