| 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 issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the ngbe probe() function. The leak occurs when the ngbe sw init() function is called, allocating memory for
rss key in wx init rss key(), but this memory is not freed in the subsequent error paths. This issue could potentially lead to a double free for rss key if the mac table allocation fails in wx sw init(). The error is resolved by freeing the rss key in the error path along with mac table.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
