NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-source-azure package and not the kernel-source-azure 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:

binder: fix memory leak in binder_init()

In binder_init(), the destruction of binder_alloc_shrinker_init() is not performed in the wrong path, which will cause memory leaks. So this commit introduces binder_alloc_shrinker_exit() and calls it in the wrong path to fix that.
