CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's rtlwifi driver, specifically within the rtl_pci_probe() function, where improper error handling can lead to resource leaks by skipping necessary cleanup operations. This flaw could potentially impact system stability and security, as it may leave the system in an inconsistent state if initialization fails. Linux system administrators and developers using affected kernel versions should prioritize applying updates to mitigate any potential risks associated with this issue.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtlwifi: pci: fix error path in rtl_pci_probe() In the last error path in rtl_pci_probe(), the cleanup functions are skipped due to a wrong goto label. Moreover, the successful call to rtl_init_rfkill(), ieee80211_register_hw(), rtl_debug_add_one() have to be reverted. Fix this issue by updating the labels and adding the relevant cleanup functions to the last error path.
