CVE-2022-50357 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc3: core: fix some leaks in probe The dwc3_get_properties() function calls: dwc->usb_psy = power_supply_get_by_name(usb_psy_name); so there is some additional clean up required on these error paths.
A memory leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's DWC3 USB driver. The issue arises in the 'dwc3_probe' function, where the 'dwc3_get_properties' call retrieves a power supply reference. If subsequent operations fail, the allocated reference is not properly released, leading to a memory leak. This vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
Users can upgrade to a patched version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been addressed. The specific commit that fixes this issue is available in the Linux kernel stable tree.
