Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2019-20810
**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.
