| 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:
The issue is related to a possible memory leak in the
tipc buf append function. The skb linearize() function does not free the skb when it fails, which can cause a memory leak. To fix this, the code has been modified to move *buf = NULL after skb linearize(), allowing the skb to be freed on the error path. This vulnerability can potentially be exploited 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.
