MediumMetricsAV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A memory leak exists in the
unittest data add() function within the Linux kernel. If of resolve phandles() fails, the allocated unittest data is not freed, resulting in a memory leak. The fix involves using a scope-based cleanup helper free(kfree) for automatic resource cleanup in error paths and retain and null ptr() to transfer memory ownership in the success path, preventing double freeing.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
