Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/core: Exit early on perf_mmap() fail When perf_mmap() fails to allocate a buffer, it still invokes the event_mapped() callback of the related event. On X86 this might increase the perf_rdpmc_allowed reference counter. But nothing undoes this as perf_mmap_close() is never called in this case, which causes another reference count leak. Return early on failure to prevent that.

Cuando perf_mmap() no asigna un b\u00fafer, sigue invocando la devoluci\u00f3n de llamada event_mapped() del evento relacionado. En X86, esto podr\u00eda aumentar el contador de referencias perf_rdpmc_allowed. Sin embargo, esto no se puede revertir, ya que perf_mmap_close() nunca se llama en este caso, lo que provoca otra fuga del recuento de referencias. Para evitarlo, se debe regresar anticipadamente en caso de fallo."
