NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-5_14_21-150400_24_170-default package and not the kernel-livepatch-5_14_21-150400_24_170-default package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

PCI: dwc: Deallocate EPC memory on dw_pcie_ep_init() errors

If dw_pcie_ep_init() fails to perform any action after the EPC memory is initialized and the MSI memory region is allocated, the latter parts won't be undone thus causing a memory leak. Add a cleanup-on-error path to fix these leaks.
