"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm/mempolicy: fix memory leaks in weighted_interleave_auto_store()\n\nweighted_interleave_auto_store() fetches old_wi_state inside the if\n(!input) block only. This causes two memory leaks:\n\n1. When a user writes \"false\" and the current mode is already manual,\n the function returns early without freeing the freshly allocated\n new_wi_state.\n\n2. When a user writes \"true\", old_wi_state stays NULL because the\n fetch is skipped entirely. The old state is then overwritten by\n rcu_assign_pointer() but never freed, since the cleanup path is\n gated on old_wi_state being non-NULL. A user can trigger this\n repeatedly by writing \"1\" in a loop.\n\nFix both leaks by moving the old_wi_state fetch before the input check,\nmaking it unconditional. This also allows a unified early return for both\n\"true\" and \"false\" when the requested mode matches the current mode.\n\nReviewed by: Donet Tom <donettom@linux.ibm.com>"
