CVE-2022-50765

Estado: AplazadaSin puntuar—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RISC-V: kexec: Fix memory leak of elf header buffer

This is reported by kmemleak detector:

In elf_kexec_load(), a buffer is allocated via vzalloc() to store elf headers. While it's not freed back to system when kdump kernel is reloaded or unloaded, or when image->elf_header is successfully set and then fails to load kdump kernel for some reason. Fix it by freeing the buffer in arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup().
