CVE-2022-49256 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Red Hat security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for RHEL:9.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rtla package and not the rtla package as distributed by RHEL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
watch_queue: Actually free the watch
free_watch() does everything barring actually freeing the watch object. Fix this by adding the missing kfree.
kmemleak produces a report something like the following. Note that as an address can be seen in the first word, the watch would appear to have gone through call_rcu().
