Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2022-50343

medium Nessus Plugin ID 265592

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - rapidio: fix possible name leaks when rio_add_device() fails Patch series rapidio: fix three possible memory leaks. This patchset fixes three name leaks in error handling. - patch #1 fixes two name leaks while rio_add_device() fails. - patch #2 fixes a name leak while rio_register_mport() fails. This patch (of 2): If rio_add_device() returns error, the name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. It should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path, so that the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(), and the 'rdev' can be freed in rio_release_dev(). (CVE-2022-50343)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
