CWE-401

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: uio_hv_generic: Fix a memory leak in error handling paths If 'vmbus_establish_gpadl()' fails, the (recv|send)_gpadl will not be updated and 'hv_uio_cleanup()' in the error handling path will not be able to free the corresponding buffer. In such a case, we need to free the buffer explicitly.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.122) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.40) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.12.7) • linux linux kernel 5.13
