Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soc: mediatek: svs: Fix memory leak in svs_enable_debug_write() In svs_enable_debug_write(), the buf allocated by memdup_user_nul() is leaked if kstrtoint() fails. Fix this by using __free(kfree) to automatically free buf, eliminating the need for explicit kfree() calls and preventing leaks. [Angelo: Added missing cleanup.h inclusion] A flaw was found in the MediaTek SVS (System Voltage Scaling) driver within the Linux kernel. A memory leak occurs in thesvs_enable_debug_write() function when a buffer, allocated during a debug write operation, is not properly freed if an integer conversion fails. This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to cause resource exhaustion, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
