CVE-2026-64179 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: wwan: iosm: fix potential memory leaks in ipc_imem_init() The memory allocated in ipc_protocol_init() is not freed on the error paths that follow in ipc_imem_init(). Fix that by calling the corresponding release function ipc_protocol_deinit() in the error path.
A memory leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's IPC interface for the IOSM driver. The issue arises in the 'ipc_imem_init()' function, where memory allocated by 'ipc_protocol_init()' is not properly released on error paths. This oversight can lead to memory leaks, as the allocated resources are not freed when the initialization process encounters a failure.
Users can apply the latest patches available in the Linux kernel stable tree to address this vulnerability. Instructions for downloading the patched version can be found in the Linux kernel Git repository.
