CVE-2023-53300 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: hi846: Fix memleak in hi846_init_controls() hi846_init_controls doesn't clean the allocated ctrl_hdlr in case there is a failure, which causes memleak. Add v4l2_ctrl_handler_free to free the resource properly.
A memory leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's media driver for the SK Hynix Hi-846 camera. The issue arises in the function 'hi846_init_controls()', which fails to release an allocated control handler if an error occurs during initialization. This oversight leads to a resource leak. The vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
The vulnerability has been addressed in the Linux kernel. Users can upgrade to the latest version of the kernel where this issue has been fixed.
