CVE-2022-49027
Intel IAVF Workqueue Resource Leak Vulnerability
Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iavf: Fix error handling in iavf_init_module() The iavf_init_module() won't destroy workqueue when pci_register_driver() failed. Call destroy_workqueue() when pci_register_driver() failed to prevent the resource leak. Similar to the handling of u132_hcd_init in commit f276e002793c ("usb: u132-hcd: fix resource leak")
