In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
auxdisplay: lcd2s: Fix memory leak in ->remove()
Once allocated the struct lcd2s_data is never freed.
Fix the memory leak by switching to devm_kzalloc().
A memory leak vulnerability was found in the lcd2s driver in the Linux kernel's auxdisplay subsystem. The struct lcd2s_data is allocated but not freed when the device is removed, leading to a potential memory leak over time. An attacker could leverage this issue in a resource exhaustion attack, where repeated loading and unloading of the lcd2s driver leads to increased memory usage, potentially impacting system performance.
Отчет
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not impacted by this CVE, as this vulnerability does not affect the specific versions or configurations of the Linux kernel used in its distributions. This ensures that users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are not exposed to the potential risks associated with this issue and no further action or mitigation is necessary for systems running this operating system.
