Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's tun driver. This vulnerability occurs when the build_skb() function fails within tun_xdp_one(), leading to a failure to free an allocated memory page. Each such failure results in a memory leak, where a 'page-frag chunk' is not released. Over time, repeated exploitation of this flaw could lead to memory exhaustion, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the system.
