CVE-2024-26829

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: media: ir_toy: corrige una fuga de mem en irtoy_tx Cuando falla irtoy_command, se debe liberar buf ya que está asignado por irtoy_tx, o hay una fuga de mem.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: ir_toy: fix a memleak in irtoy_tx When irtoy_command fails, buf should be freed since it is allocated by irtoy_tx, or there is a memleak.

It was discovered that the Open vSwitch implementation in the Linux kernel could overflow its stack during recursive action operations under certain conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Sander Wiebing, Alvise de Faveri Tron, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida discovered that the Linux kernel mitigations for the initial Branch History Injection vulnerability were insufficient for Intel processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive information.
