  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: iwlwifi: dvm: fix memory leak in iwl_op_mode_dvm_start()\n\nIn iwl_op_mode_dvm_start(), jumping to out_free_eeprom currently bypasses\nthe out_free_eeprom_blob label. Consequently, error paths triggered after\nsuccessfully parsing the EEPROM free priv-\u003envm_data but leak\npriv-\u003eeeprom_blob.\n\nFix this memory leak by reordering the error handling labels so\nthat out_free_eeprom falls through to out_free_eeprom_blob.\n\nThe bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are\ndeveloping for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing\nv6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly\navailable. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still\npresent in v7.1-rc6.\n\nAn x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have\nsupported Intel DVM wireless hardware and firmware to test with, no\nruntime testing was able to be performed.",
