CVE-2023-53662
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
If the filename casefolding fails, we'll be leaking memory from the fscrypt_name struct, namely from the 'crypto_buf.name' member.
Make sure we free it in the error path on both ext4_fname_setup_filename() and ext4_fname_prepare_lookup() functions.
