CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's mt76 driver, specifically in the mt7921 component, where a resource leak occurs if the pcim_iomap_region() or devm_kmemdup() functions fail during the probe process. This oversight can lead to memory leaks and potential instability in systems utilizing this driver. Organizations using affected Linux distributions should prioritize patching to ensure system reliability and prevent resource exhaustion issues.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix resource leak in probe error path When pcim_iomap_region() or devm_kmemdup() fail, the code returns directly without cleaning up previously allocated resources: - mt76_device allocated by mt76_alloc_device() - pci irq vectors allocated by pci_alloc_irq_vectors() Fix this by jumping to the existing error cleanup path instead of returning directly.
