Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-05-01 15:31 – Updated: 2025-11-07 21:31

Details

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

tracing: Fix memory leak in test_gen_synth_cmd() and test_empty_synth_event()

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().

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
