Title
mtd: spinand: fix memory leak of ECC engine conf
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: spinand: fix memory leak of ECC engine conf
Memory allocated for the ECC engine conf is not released during spinand
cleanup. Below kmemleak trace is seen for this memory leak:
unreferenced object 0xffffff80064f00e0 (size 8):
comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294937458
hex dump (first 8 bytes):
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........
backtrace (crc 0):
kmemleak_alloc+0x30/0x40
__kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x208/0x3c0
spinand_ondie_ecc_init_ctx+0x114/0x200
nand_ecc_init_ctx+0x70/0xa8
nanddev_ecc_engine_init+0xec/0x27c

__device_attach+0x188/0x24c
device_initial_probe+0x10/0x20

Fix the leak by calling nanddev_ecc_engine_cleanup() inside
spinand_cleanup().

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
