CVE-2021-47070
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: uio_hv_generic: Fix another memory leak in error handling paths Memory allocated by 'vmbus_alloc_ring()' at the beginning of the probe function is never freed in the error handling path.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
