| Vetor | AV: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 versions prior to 5.6
Description
The issue is related to the go7007 snd init function in the Linux kernel, which does not properly free resources in case of failure, leading to a memory leak. This can potentially allow an attacker to cause a denial of service.
Recommendations
For Linux kernel versions prior to 5.6, update to version 5.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the affected function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Correção
Memory Leak
Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime
