CVE-2022-50547 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: solo6x10: fix possible memory leak in solo_sysfs_init() If device_register() returns error in solo_sysfs_init(), the name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment of device_register() says, it should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup().
A memory leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's solo6x10 media driver. The issue arises in the 'solo_sysfs_init()' function, where the 'device_register()' call can fail, leaving allocated names unfreed. This vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
The vulnerability has been fixed in the Linux kernel stable tree. Users should upgrade to the latest version.
