CWE ID 401
Summary
CVE-2024-56534: A memory leak vulnerability was identified in the Linux kernel's isofs driver, specifically in the iocharset component. The issue arises due to unreferenced memory allocated for opt->iocharset when parsing mount parameters in vfs_parse_monolithic_sep. In some instances, such as when encountering an error message preventing the mount, the isofs_fill_super function may not be called, leading to the memory not being freed. To address this issue, the memory freeing of opt->iocharset should be moved to the isofs_free_fc function.
