AI-suggested

A patch is available and should be applied to affected linux-hwe-edge kernel versions. The vendor advisory confirms that this issue has been resolved. Users should update to a fixed kernel version to prevent the memory leak. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's igc driver caused a potential socket buffer (skb) memory leak in the function igc_fpe_xmit_smd_frame() when igc_fpe_init_tx_descriptor() fails. This issue has been fixed by ensuring that the allocated skb is properly freed on failure. The vulnerability affects multiple specific versions of the linux-hwe-edge kernel. The CVSS score is 5.5, indicating a medium severity with an impact on availability but no confidentiality or integrity loss. A patch is available to address this issue.
