In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, verifier: Fix memory leak in array reallocation for stack state
If an error (NULL) is returned by krealloc(), callers of realloc_array() were setting their allocation pointers to NULL, but on error krealloc() does not touch the original allocation. This would result in a memory resource leak. Instead, free the old allocation on the error handling path.
The memory leak information is as follows as also reported by Zhengchao:
