CVE-2022-49853
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: macvlan: fix memory leaks of macvlan_common_newlink
kmemleak reports memory leaks in macvlan_common_newlink, as follows:
ip link add link eth0 name .. type macvlan mode source macaddr add <MAC-ADDR>
kmemleak reports:
In the scenario where the macvlan mode is configured as 'source', macvlan_changelink_sources() will be execured to reconfigure list of remote source mac addresses, at the same time, if register_netdevice() return an error, the resource generated by macvlan_changelink_sources() is not cleaned up.
Using this patch, in the case of an error, it will execute macvlan_flush_sources() to ensure that the resource is cleaned up.
