**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** A memory leak vulnerability has been resolved in the Linux kernel. The issue is related to the `ip mc add1 src` function, where an unreferenced object is created, leading to a memory leak. The vulnerability occurs when the `ip mc clear src` function is removed from `ip mc destroy dev`, but still called in `igmpv3 clear delrec`, resulting in the inability to release `in dev->mc list->sources` through `ip mc del1 src` in `sock close`. This vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
