CVE-2023-53435
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cassini: Fix a memory leak in the error handling path of cas_init_one() cas_saturn_firmware_init() allocates some memory using vmalloc().
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.14%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cassini: Fix a memory leak in the error handling path of cas_init_one() cas_saturn_firmware_init() allocates some memory using vmalloc(). This memory is freed in the .remove() function but not it the error handling path of the probe. Add the missing vfree() to avoid a memory leak, should an error occur.
