Threats tagged 'ghsa-m6gp-f257-gxcp'

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's tracing subsystem causes a memory leak when the same variable is used three or more times in one histogram trigger. This occurs due to improper reference counting and freeing of variable references, leading to leaked variable references and associated strings when the trigger is removed. The issue has been resolved by changing the reference counting logic to free variable references unconditionally.
