In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware_loader: Fix possible resource leak in fw_log_firmware_info() The alg instance should be released under the exception path, otherwise there may be resource leak here.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.22%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
