Severity ?
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netrom: Fix memory leak in nr_sendmsg()
syzbot reported a memory leak [1].
When function sock_alloc_send_skb() return NULL in nr_output(), the
original skb is not freed, which was allocated in nr_sendmsg(). Fix this
by freeing it before return.
