| Vector | 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 (affected versions not specified)
Description
A memory leak has been resolved in the Linux kernel, specifically in the SUNRPC component. The issue occurred because the
ctx->mech used.data allocated by kmemdup was not freed in either gss import v2 context or its only caller gss krb5 import sec context, which frees ctx on error. The patch reforms the last call of gss import v2 context to gss krb5 import ctx v2, preventing the memory leak while keeping the return formation.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
