In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rt2x00: Fix memory leak when handling surveys
When removing a rt2x00 device, its associated channel surveys
are not freed, causing a memory leak observable with kmemleak:
unreferenced object 0xffff9620f0881a00 (size 512):
comm "systemd-udevd", pid 2290, jiffies 4294906974 (age 33.768s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

Fix this by freeing the channel surveys on device removal.
Tested with a RT3070 based USB wireless adapter.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's rt2x00 Wi-Fi driver. A local user could exploit this vulnerability when a rt2x00 device is removed, as its associated channel surveys are not properly freed. This leads to a memory leak, which could result in a Denial of Service (DoS) due to resource exhaustion, making the system unavailable to legitimate users.
