{"id":"AZL-67553","summary":"CVE-2025-39847 affecting package kernel for versions less than 6.6.112.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nppp: fix memory leak in pad_compress_skb\n\nIf alloc_skb() fails in pad_compress_skb(), it returns NULL without\nreleasing the old skb. The caller does:\n\n    skb = pad_compress_skb(ppp, skb);\n    if (!skb)\n        goto drop;\n\ndrop:\n    kfree_skb(skb);\n\nWhen pad_compress_skb() returns NULL, the reference to the old skb is\nlost and kfree_skb(skb) ends up doing nothing, leading to a memory leak.\n\nAlign pad_compress_skb() semantics with realloc(): only free the old\nskb if allocation and compression succeed.  At the call site, use the\nnew_skb variable so the original skb is not lost when pad_compress_skb()\nfails.","modified":"2026-04-01T05:21:15.131954Z","published":"2025-09-19T16:15:43Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-39847"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-39847"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6.112.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-67553.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
