      <title>CVE-2023-52977 — net: openvswitch: fix flow memory leak in ovs_flow_cmd_new</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-52977</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;net: openvswitch: fix flow memory leak in ovs_flow_cmd_new&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Syzkaller reports a memory leak of new_flow in ovs_flow_cmd_new() as it is
not freed when an allocation of a key fails.&lt;/p&gt;
