CVE-2022-49923: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: nxp-nci: Fix potential memory leak in nxp_nci_send() nxp_nci_send() will call nxp_nci_i2c_write(), and only free skb when nxp_nci_i2c_write() failed. However, even if the nxp_nci_i2c_write() run succeeds, the skb will not be freed in nxp_nci_i2c_write(). As the result, the skb will memleak. nxp_nci_send() should also free the skb when nxp_nci_i2c_write() succeeds.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 4.1, before 5.10.154 (fixed in 5.10.154); from 5.11, before 5.15.78 (fixed in 5.15.78); from 5.16, before 6.0.8 (fixed in 6.0.8); version 6.1 only
