NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-tools-devel package and not the kernel-tools-devel package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

irqchip/gic-v3-its: Prevent leak in its_vpe_irq_domain_alloc()

When its_irq_gic_domain_alloc() fails, the following its_vpe_irq_domain_free() fails to invoke its_vep_teardown() for the corresponding interrupt, which leaks the resource.

Invoke its_vpe_teardown() in the error handling path to avoid the leak.
