{"id":"CVE-2022-49836","summary":"siox: fix possible memory leak in siox_device_add()","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nsiox: fix possible memory leak in siox_device_add()\n\nIf device_register() returns error in siox_device_add(),\nthe name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. As\ncomment of device_register() says, it should use put_device()\nto give up the reference in the error path. So fix this\nby calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in\nkobject_cleanup(), and sdevice is freed in siox_device_release(),\nset it to null in error path.","modified":"2026-04-03T13:14:49.545988Z","published":"2025-05-01T14:09:53.454Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2025:01918-1","SUSE-SU-2025:01966-1","SUSE-SU-2025:01982-1","SUSE-SU-2025:01995-1","SUSE-SU-2025:02173-1","SUSE-SU-2025:02262-1"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/49xxx/CVE-2022-49836.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0a5da069603ecc3d7aa09167450235462adaa295"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5d03c2911c529ea4d6ebfec53425f1091e8d402b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6e63153db50059fb78b8a8447b132664887d24e3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a4b5423f88a17a36550ae8c16c46779b1ee42f4b"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d9c31e728843259209fb530c59995e4fe262699f"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f9fe7ba4ea5b24ffdf8e125f660aca3ba4a147fb"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/49xxx/CVE-2022-49836.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-49836"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"bbecb07fa0af9a41507ce06d4631fdb3b5059417"},{"fixed":"0a5da069603ecc3d7aa09167450235462adaa295"},{"fixed":"f9fe7ba4ea5b24ffdf8e125f660aca3ba4a147fb"},{"fixed":"a4b5423f88a17a36550ae8c16c46779b1ee42f4b"},{"fixed":"5d03c2911c529ea4d6ebfec53425f1091e8d402b"},{"fixed":"d9c31e728843259209fb530c59995e4fe262699f"},{"fixed":"6e63153db50059fb78b8a8447b132664887d24e3"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2022-49836.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
