GHSA-23FG-W3CV-JF6W
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-15 15:31 – Updated: 2025-12-02 03:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: Fix possible memory leak if device_add() fails
If device_add() returns error, the name allocated by dev_set_name() needs be freed. As the comment of device_add() says, put_device() should be used to decrease the reference count in the error path. So fix this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanp().
