Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a memory leak in the Linux kernel's RSI WiFi driver. Specifically, the coex_cb memory is not freed properly when the function rsi_create_kthread() fails during the rsi_coex_attach() process. This means that allocated memory is not released, potentially leading to increased memory usage over time.

Impact Analysis

The memory leak can cause the system to consume more memory than necessary, which may degrade performance or lead to system instability if the leak is significant and persistent. However, no direct security impact such as code execution or data leakage is indicated.
