Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A memory leak may occur in the SCSI core if the
device add() function fails. Specifically, if device add() returns an error, the name allocated by dev set name() is not freed. This is resolved by calling put device() to decrease the reference count in the error path, allowing the name to be freed in kobject cleanp().Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
