CVE-2022-50060
Last modified
CVE-2022-50060 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeontx2-af: Fix mcam entry resource leak The teardown sequence in FLR handler returns if no NIX LF is attached to PF/VF because it indicates that graceful shutdown of resources already happened. But there is a chance of all allocated MCAM entries not being freed by PF/VF. EPSS estimates a 0.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeontx2-af: Fix mcam entry resource leak The teardown sequence in FLR handler returns if no NIX LF is attached to PF/VF because it indicates that graceful shutdown of resources already happened. But there is a chance of all allocated MCAM entries not being freed by PF/VF. Hence free mcam entries even in case of detached LF.
