Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) Over Shared Memory (IOSM) subsystem. This vulnerability occurs because memory allocated during the initialization of the inter-process communication (IPC) protocol is not properly released when certain error conditions are encountered in the ipc_imem_init() function. This oversight can lead to memory leaks, potentially impacting system stability and performance over time.
