# CVE-2024-50087: linux: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix uninitialized pointer free on read_al... CVE-2024-50087 is fixed in 47 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2024-50087, released October 29, 2024. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-50087 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 5.5 (medium) - EPSS: 0.0021 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Oct 29, 2024 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix uninitialized pointer free on read_alloc_one_name() error The function read_alloc_one_name() does not initialize the name field of the passed fscrypt_str struct if kmalloc fails to allocate the corresponding buffer. Thus, it is not guaranteed that fscrypt_str.name is initialized when freeing it. This is a follow-up to the linked patch that fixes the remaining instances of the bug introduced by commit e43eec81c516 ("btrfs: use struct qstr instead of name and namelen pairs"). ## Where it's
