CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's firmware for Stratix 10 services, specifically related to memory management and list handling. If exploited, it could lead to memory leaks and potential corruption of data structures, impacting system stability and performance. Organizations utilizing Stratix 10 hardware should prioritize applying the fix to mitigate these risks.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware: stratix10-svc: fix memory leaks and list corruption bugs Fix a memory leak when gen_pool_alloc() fails by freeing pmem on the error path. Switch pmem allocation from devm_kzalloc() to kzalloc() with explicit kfree() in the free path to match its list-managed lifetime. Remove the erroneous list_del(&svc_data_mem) which corrupted the list head on failed lookups.
