MEDIUMLinux Kernel 5.14-5.15.79, 5.16-6.0.9 - Use-After-Free in IOSM WWAN Driver
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: wwan: iosm: fix memory leak in ipc_wwan_dellink IOSM driver registers network device without setting the needs_free_netdev flag, and does NOT call free_netdev() when unregisters network device, which causes a memory leak. This patch sets needs_free_netdev to true when registers network device, which makes netdev subsystem call free_netdev() automatically after unregister_netdevice().
