CWE ID 401
Summary
CVE-2024-56710 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel that has been addressed. In the 'ceph' subsystem, a memory leak was identified in the function 'ceph_direct_read_write().' This issue resulted in the bvecs array being leaked, with pages remaining pinned if 'ceph_alloc_sparse_ext_map()' failed. To resolve this, the allocation of the sparse_ext map has been moved earlier in the process to prevent the memory leak. A similar adjustment was made in '__ceph_sync_read()' for consistency.
