Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nvdimm: Fix devs leaks in scan_labels()

scan_labels() leaks memory when label scanning fails and it falls back to just creating a default "seed" namespace for userspace to configure. Root can force the kernel to leak memory.

Allocate the minimum resources unconditionally and release them when unneeded to avoid the memory leak.
