Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: host: xhci: Fix potential memory leak in xhci_alloc_stream_info() xhci_alloc_stream_info() allocates stream context array for stream_info ->stream_ctx_array with xhci_alloc_stream_ctx(). When some error occurs, stream_info->stream_ctx_array is not released, which will lead to a memory leak. We can fix it by releasing the stream_info->stream_ctx_array with xhci_free_stream_ctx() on the error path to avoid the potential memory leak.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.35 < 4.9.331) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.10 < 4.14.296) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.15 < 4.19.262) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.220) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.150) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.75) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 5.19.17) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.0 < 6.0.3)
