In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: scsi_dh_alua: Fix memleak for 'qdata' in alua_activate() If alua_rtpg_queue() failed from alua_activate(), then 'qdata' is not freed, which will cause following memleak: unreferenced object 0xffff88810b2c6980 (size 32): comm "kworker/u16:2", pid 635322, jiffies 4355801099 (age 1216426.076s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 40 39 24 c1 ff ff ff ff 00 f8 ea 0a 81 88 ff ff @9$............. backtrace: [<0000000098f3a26d>] alua_activate+0xb0/0x320 [<000000003b529641>] scsi_dh_activate+0xb2/0x140 [<000000007b296db3>] activate_path_work+0xc6/0xe0 [dm_multipath] [<000000007adc9ace>] process_one_work+0x3c5/0x730 [<00000000c457a985>] worker_thread+0x93/0x650 [<00000000cb80e628>] kthread+0x1ba/0x210 [<00000000a1e61077>] ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 Fix the problem by freeing 'qdata' in error path.
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.5, requiring local system access to exploit with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction requiring only low-level privileges . The vulnerability impacts and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 1 product from linux organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2025, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For linux's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
