NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-bootwrapper package and not the kernel-bootwrapper package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

RDMA/cm: Fix memory leak in ib_cm_insert_listen

cm_alloc_id_priv() allocates resource for the cm_id_priv. When cm_init_listen() fails it doesn't free it, leading to memory leak.

Add the missing error unwind.
