Summary

In the Linux kernel, the T7xx WWAN driver's t7xx_cldma_late_init() creates a DMA pool before initializing TX and RX rings. If ring initialization fails, the DMA pool is not freed, causing a memory leak. Added destruction of the DMA pool on the error path.

Risk Assessment

Risk of kernel memory leak, which can lead to system performance degradation or failure.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that destroys the DMA pool on initialization failure.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: wwan: t7xx: destroy DMA pool on CLDMA late init failure t7xx_cldma_late_init() creates md_ctrl->gpd_dmapool before initializing the TX and RX rings. If any ring initialization fails, the error path frees the already initialized rings but leaves the DMA pool allocated. Destroy md_ctrl->gpd_dmapool on the late-init failure path to avoid leaking the DMA pool.
