CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA vulnerability in the Linux kernel's batman-adv module allows for a reference leak of the primary interface when the linearization of a socket buffer (skb) fails during fragmentation. This could potentially lead to memory management issues or resource exhaustion. Linux system administrators and developers utilizing the batman-adv module should prioritize addressing this issue to ensure system stability and security.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: batman-adv: frag: fix primary_if leak on failed linearization If the skb has a frag_list, it must be linearized before it can be split using skb_split(). But when this step failed, it must not only free the skb but also take care of the reference to the already found primary_if.
