CVE-2024-56534
Description
From CVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: isofs: avoid memory leak in iocharset A memleak was found as below: unreferenced object 0xffff0000d10164d8 (size 8): comm "pool-udisksd", pid 108217, jiffies 4295408555 hex dump (first 8 bytes): 75 74 66 38 00 cc cc cc utf8.... backtrace (crc de430d31): [<ffff800081046e6c>] kmemleak_alloc+0xb8/0xc8 [<ffff8000803e6c3c>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller_noprof+0x380/0x474 [<ffff800080363b74>] kstrdup+0x70/0xfc [<ffff80007bb3c6a4>] isofs_parse_param+0x228/0x2c0 [isofs] [<ffff8000804d7f68>] vfs_parse_fs_param+0xf4/0x164 [<ffff8000804d8064>] vfs_parse_fs_string+0x8c/0xd4 [<ffff8000804d815c>] vfs_parse_monolithic_sep+0xb0/0xfc [<ffff8000804d81d8>] generic_parse_monolithic+0x30/0x3c [<ffff8000804d8bfc>] parse_monolithic_mount_data+0x40/0x4c [<ffff8000804b6a64>] path_mount+0x6c4/0x9ec [<ffff8000804b6e38>] do_mount+0xac/0xc4 [<ffff8000804b7494>] __arm64_sys_mount+0x16c/0x2b0 [<ffff80008002b8dc>] invoke_syscall+0x7c/0x104 [<ffff80008002ba44>] el0_svc_common.constprop.1+0xe0/0x104 [<ffff80008002ba94>] do_el0_svc+0x2c/0x38 [<ffff800081041108>] el0_svc+0x3c/0x1b8 The opt->iocharset is freed inside the isofs_fill_super function, But there may be situations where it's not possible to enter this function. For example, in the get_tree_bdev_flags function,when encountering the situation where "Can't mount, would change RO state," In such a case, isofs_fill_super will not have the opportunity to be called,which means that opt->iocharset will not have the chance to be freed,ultimately leading to a memory leak. Let's move the memory freeing of opt->iocharset into isofs_free_fc function.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart; DoS: Instability; DoS: Resource Consumption (CPU); DoS: Resource Consumption (Memory)
Most memory leaks result in general product reliability problems, but if an attacker can intentionally trigger a memory leak, the attacker might be able to launch a denial of service attack (by crashing or hanging the program) or take advantage of other unexpected program behavior resulting from a low memory condition.

Technical Impact: Reduce Performance
