CVE-2022-50201
Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: fix memleak in security_read_state_kernel()
In this function, it directly returns the result of __security_read_policy without freeing the allocated memory in *data, cause memory leak issue, so free the memory if __security_read_policy failed.
[PM: subject line tweak]
