In the Linux kernel before 5.0.3, a memory leak exits in hsr_dev_finalize() in net/hsr/hsr_device.c if hsr_add_port fails to add a port, which may cause denial of service, aka CID-6caabe7f197d.

Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.53%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
