Additional information
NVDhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-48650
CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/401.html

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: qla2xxx: Fix memory leak in __qlt_24xx_handle_abts()

Commit 8f394da36a36 (scsi: qla2xxx: Drop TARGET_SCF_LOOKUP_LUN_FROM_TAG) made the __qlt_24xx_handle_abts() function return early if tcm_qla2xxx_find_cmd_by_tag() didnt find a command, but it missed to clean up the allocated memory for the management command.

Weakness

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse.

Potential Mitigations

  • Choose a language or tool that provides automatic memory management, or makes manual memory management less error-prone.
  • For example, glibc in Linux provides protection against free of invalid pointers.
  • When using Xcode to target OS X or iOS, enable automatic reference counting (ARC) [REF-391].
  • To help correctly and consistently manage memory when programming in C++, consider using a smart pointer class such as std::auto_ptr (defined by ISO/IEC ISO/IEC 14882:2003), std::shared_ptr and std::unique_ptr (specified by an upcoming revision of the C++ standard, informally referred to as C++ 1x), or equivalent solutions such as Boost.
