Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A memory leak issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the bnxt rdma aux device init() function. The leak occurs when ulp = kzalloc() fails, causing the allocated edev to not be properly assigned, which in turn prevents the cleanup path from freeing it. This issue is resolved by assigning the allocated edev properly immediately after allocation.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
