Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-30 13:19:05 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

apparmor: Fix memleak in alloc_ns()

After changes in commit a1bd627b46d1 ("apparmor: share profile name on
replacement"), the hname member of struct aa_policy is not valid slab
object, but a subset of that, it can not be freed by kfree_sensitive(),
use aa_policy_destroy() to fix it.
