FKIE_CVE-2021-47075

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-03-01 22:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 04:16
Severity
5.3 (Medium) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet: fix memory leak in nvmet_alloc_ctrl() When creating ctrl in nvmet_alloc_ctrl(), if the cntlid_min is larger than cntlid_max of the subsystem, and jumps to the "out_free_changed_ns_list" label, but the ctrl->sqs lack of be freed. Fix this by jumping to the "out_free_sqs" label.
