CVE-2022-49890

CVE-2022-49890 covers a Linux kernel memleak in cap_inode_getsecurity() when using vfs_getxattr_alloc() to allocate tmpbuf. If tmpbuf allocation succeeds but handler->get() fails, memory leak could occur in the sequence (krealloc of xattr_value, then assignment back to *xattr_value). The mitig...

kernel: capabilities: fix potential memleak on error path from vfs_getxattr_alloc()

A flaw was found in the capabilities subsystem in the Linux kernel. When memory is allocated for a temporary buffer and a subsequent function call fails, the allocated memory is not released, resulting in a memory leak. This issue could impact system performance and result in a denial of service...
