CVE-2022-50337 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocxl: fix pci device refcount leak when calling get_function_0() get_function_0() calls pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot(), as comment says, it returns a pci device with refcount increment, so after using it, pci_dev_put() needs be called. Get the device reference when get_function_0() is not called, so pci_dev_put() can be called in the error path and callers unconditionally. And add comment above get_dvsec_vendor0() to tell callers to call pci_dev_put().
A vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel OCXL driver, specifically related to improper management of PCI device reference counts. The issue arises in the 'get_function_0()' function, which retrieves a PCI device but fails to release the reference correctly, leading to a memory leak. This vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can apply the latest patches available in the Linux kernel stable tree to address this vulnerability.
