      <title>CVE-2022-49800 — tracing: Fix memory leak in test_gen_synth_cmd() and test_empty_synth_event()</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2022-49800</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;tracing: Fix memory leak in test_gen_synth_cmd() and test_empty_synth_event()&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;test_gen_synth_cmd() only free buf in fail path, hence buf will leak
when there is no failure. Add kfree(buf) to prevent the memleak. The
same reason and solution in test_empty_synth_event().&lt;/p&gt;
