5.5 CVE-2024-27078
Enriched by CISA Patch
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: v4l2-tpg: fix some memleaks in tpg_alloc
In tpg_alloc, resources should be deallocated in each and every
error-handling paths, since they are allocated in for statements.
Otherwise there would be memleaks because tpg_free is called only when
tpg_alloc return 0.

CWE-401 : Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse. a common term for not releasing memory;however, the same term is also used for "disclosure ofsensitive information from memory," so use of this termis discouraged. Fuzz testing (fuzzing) is a powerful technique for generating large numbers of diverse inputs - either randomly or algorithmically - and dynamically invoking the code with those inputs. Even with random inputs, it is often capable of generating unexpected results such as crashes, memory corruption, or resource consumption. Fuzzing effectively produces repeatable test cases that clearly indicate bugs, which helps developers to diagnose the issues. Use tools that are integrated duringcompilation to insert runtime error-checking mechanismsrelated to memory safety errors, such as AddressSanitizer(ASan) for C/C++ [REF-1518] or valgrind [REF-480]. Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.) Use an abstraction library to abstract away risky APIs. Not a complete solution. Consider using the Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector (bdwgc), which can help avoid leaks. Memory leak because function does not free() an element of a data structure. Memory leak when counter variable is not decremented. chain: reference count is not decremented, leading to memory leak in OS by sending ICMP packets. Kernel uses wrong function to release a data structure, preventing data from being properly tracked by other code. Memory leak via unknown manipulations as part of protocol test suite. Memory leak via a series of the same command.
