NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-zfcpdump-modules-internal package and not the kernel-zfcpdump-modules-internal package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

tracing/histogram: Fix a potential memory leak for kstrdup()

kfree() is missing on an error path to free the memory allocated by kstrdup():

p = param = kstrdup(data->params[i], GFP_KERNEL);

So it is better to free it via kfree(p).
