CVE-2022-49757
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: EDAC/highbank: Fix memory leak in highbank_mc_probe() When devres_open_group() fails, it returns -ENOMEM without freeing memory allocated by edac_mc_alloc().
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.20%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
