CVE-2022-50872 [LOW] CWE-772 kernel: Linux kernel (ARM OMAP2+): Memory leak in realtime_counter_init()
kernel: Linux kernel (ARM OMAP2+): Memory leak in realtime_counter_init()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: OMAP2+: Fix memory leak in realtime_counter_init()
The "sys_clk" resource is malloced by clk_get(),
it is not released when the function return.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The `realtime_counter_init()` function within the ARM OMAP2+ component fails to release the `sys_clk` resource after it has been allocated. This memory leak can be exploited by a local user, potentially leading to resource exhaustion and a Denial of Service (DoS).
