Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the 'most: core' module. The most_register_interface() function does not correctly release allocated resources when it encounters an early failure. This resource leak can be triggered by a local attacker, potentially leading to memory exhaustion and a Denial of Service (DoS) condition on the affected system.
