Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2022-48669
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to a potential memory leak in the `papr get attr()` function. The `buf` variable is allocated in this function, and if the `krealloc()` of `buf` fails, the original `buf` needs to be freed to prevent a memory leak. This could allow an attacker to cause a denial of service.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
