Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to a memory leak in the Linux kernel. Specifically, it occurs when the
of changeset destroy() function is not properly synchronized with devlink removals. This can lead to warnings about missing of node put() calls, resulting in a memory leak. The problem arises from the asynchronous nature of devlink removals, which are performed in a workqueue. To address this, the of changeset destroy() function needs to be synchronized with the devlink removals to ensure that any ongoing removals are completed before the OF node destruction.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
