NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-trace package and not the kernel-rt-trace package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

NFC: digital: fix possible memory leak in digital_in_send_sdd_req()

'skb' is allocated in digital_in_send_sdd_req(), but not free when digital_in_send_cmd() failed, which will cause memory leak. Fix it by freeing 'skb' if digital_in_send_cmd() return failed.
