In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ncsi: fix skb leak in error paths
Early return paths in NCSI RX and AEN handlers fail to release
the received skb, resulting in a memory leak.
Specifically, ncsi_aen_handler() returns on invalid AEN packets
without consuming the skb. Similarly, ncsi_rcv_rsp() exits early
when failing to resolve the NCSI device, response handler, or
request, leaving the skb unfreed.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the Network Controller Sideband Interface (NCSI) subsystem. This vulnerability occurs in the NCSI RX and Asynchronous Event Notification (AEN) handlers, where early return paths fail to release received socket buffers (skb) when processing invalid packets or failing to resolve NCSI devices or handlers. This oversight can lead to a memory leak, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition for the affected system.
