NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_7_78-rt package and not the kernel-livepatch-6_4_0-150700_7_78-rt package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

apparmor: aa_label_alloc use aa_label_free on alloc failure

aa_label_alloc() allocates a secid before allocating or taking the label proxy. If the later proxy step fails, the error path only freed the label memory, leaking any resources initialized by aa_label_init().

Use aa_label_free() on the failure path so partially initialized labels release their secid and other label resources before the backing memory is freed.
