Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionNVD
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: codecs: wcd937x: fix a potential memory leak in wcd937x_soc_codec_probe()
When snd_soc_dapm_new_controls() or snd_soc_dapm_add_routes() fails, wcd937x_soc_codec_probe() returns without releasing 'wcd937x->clsh_info', which is allocated by wcd_clsh_ctrl_alloc. Add wcd_clsh_ctrl_free() to prevent potential memory leak.
AnalysisAI
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: codecs: wcd937x: fix a potential memory leak in wcd937x_soc_codec_probe() When snd_soc_dapm_new_controls() or. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Memory Leak (CWE-401), which allows attackers to exhaust available memory leading to denial of service. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: codecs: wcd937x: fix a potential memory leak in wcd937x_soc_codec_probe() When snd_soc_dapm_new_controls() or snd_soc_dapm_add_routes() fails, wcd937x_soc_codec_probe() returns without releasing 'wcd937x->clsh_info', which is allocated by wcd_clsh_ctrl_alloc. Add wcd_clsh_ctrl_free() to prevent potential memory leak. Affected products include: Linux Linux Kernel.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Ensure all allocated memory is properly freed. Use RAII patterns or garbage-collected languages.
