Descriptions

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

net: sched: fix memory leak in tcindex_partial_destroy_work

Syzbot reported memory leak in tcindex_set_parms(). The problem was in
non-freed perfect hash in tcindex_partial_destroy_work().

In tcindex_set_parms() new tcindex_data is allocated and some fields from
old one are copied to new one, but not the perfect hash. Since
tcindex_partial_destroy_work() is the destroy function for old
tcindex_data, we need to free perfect hash to avoid memory leak.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net: sched: corrige la pérdida de memoria en tcindex_partial_destroy_work Syzbot informó una pérdida de memoria en tcindex_set_parms(). El problema estaba en el hash perfecto no liberado en tcindex_partial_destroy_work(). En tcindex_set_parms() se asigna un nuevo tcindex_data y algunos campos del anterior se copian al nuevo, pero no el hash perfecto. Dado que tcindex_partial_destroy_work() es la función de destrucción del antiguo tcindex_data, necesitamos liberar un hash perfecto para evitar pérdidas de memoria.
