Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description Memory leaks occur in the gfs2 fill super() error handling path when transitioning a filesystem to read-write mode fails. The first leak involves kthread objects, such as thread struct and task struct, which are not destroyed when gfs2 freeze lock shared() fails after init threads() succeeds. The second leak involves an 8192-byte quota bitmap buffer that is not freed when gfs2 make fs rw() fails after gfs2 quota init() succeeds.
Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
