CVE-2022-50565 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: plfxlc: fix potential memory leak in __lf_x_usb_enable_rx() urbs does not be freed in exception paths in __lf_x_usb_enable_rx(). That will trigger memory leak. To fix it, add kfree() for urbs within "error" label. Compile tested only.
A memory leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's PLFXLC Wi-Fi driver, specifically in the function '__lf_x_usb_enable_rx()'. The issue arises because USB request blocks (urbs) are not properly freed in exception paths, leading to a potential memory leak. This vulnerability affects the stable versions of the Linux kernel that include the PLFXLC driver for PureLiFi X, XL, and XC devices.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel where this vulnerability has been patched. The patch is available in the Linux kernel stable tree.
