CVE-2021-47295 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: sched: fix memory leak in tcindex_partial_destroy_work

Syzbot reported memory leak in tcindex_set_parms(). The problem was in non-freed perfect hash in tcindex_partial_destroy_work().

In tcindex_set_parms() new tcindex_data is allocated and some fields from old one are copied to new one but not the perfect hash. Since tcindex_partial_destroy_work() is the destroy function for old tcindex_data we need to free perfect hash to avoid memory leak.
