| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A memory leak exists in the
pcf50633 adc async read() function within the Linux kernel’s mfd (multiple function device) driver for the pcf50633-adc. The issue occurs because the req variable is allocated within this function, but adc enqueue request() may fail to add the req to the queue. If this failure happens, the allocated memory for req is not freed, leading to a potential memory leak.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
