CVE-2024-56572

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: platform: allegro-dvt: Fix possible memory leak in allocate_buffers_internal() The buffer in the loop should be released under the exception path, otherwise there may be a memory leak here. To mitigate this, free the buffer when allegro_alloc_buffer fails.

Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. Ye Zhang and Nicolas Wu discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle locking for rings with IOPOLL, leading to a double-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
