Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: sched: fix memory leak in tcindex_partial_destroy_work Syzbot reported memory leak in tcindex_set_parms(). The problem was in non-freed perfect hash in tcindex_partial_destroy_work(). In tcindex_set_parms() new tcindex_data is allocated and some fields from old one are copied to new one, but not the perfect hash. Since tcindex_partial_destroy_work() is the destroy function for old tcindex_data, we need to free perfect hash to avoid memory leak.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 3.18 < 5.4.136) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.54) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.13.6) • linux linux kernel 5.14
