Last modified
CVE-2025-38015 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: idxd: fix memory leak in error handling path of idxd_alloc Memory allocated for idxd is not freed if an error occurs during idxd_alloc(). To fix it, free the allocated memory in the reverse order of allocation before exiting the function in case of an error.. EPSS estimates a 0.16% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
