Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) JIT (Just-In-Time) compiler for the LoongArch architecture. When JIT compilation fails for a subprogram, the bpf_jit_free() function does not properly release the memory allocated for the JIT context offsets array. This oversight leads to a memory leak, which could potentially impact system stability or performance over time.
