| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/migrate_device: fix pgtable leak in migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page
When migrate_vma_insert_huge_pmd_page() jumps to unlock_abort due
to a PMD check failure, the pgtable allocated earlier via
pte_alloc_one() is never freed, causing a memory leak.
Added free_abort label to release the pgtable in error path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: buffer: Fix DMA fence leak in iio_buffer_enqueue_dmabuf()
iio_buffer_enqueue_dmabuf() allocates a struct iio_dma_fence (104 bytes,
kmalloc-128) via kmalloc_obj()+dma_fence_init(), which sets the initial
kref to 1. It then calls dma_resv_add_fence() which takes a second
reference (kref=2), and stores a raw pointer in block->fence.
On the success path the function returns without calling dma_fence_put()
to release the initial reference, so every buffer enqueue permanently
leaks one kmalloc-128 allocation.
The iio_buffer_cleanup() work item only releases the temporary reference
taken during completion signalling by iio_buffer_signal_dmabuf_done();
the initial reference from dma_fence_init() is never released.
With four iio_rwdev instances at 240kHz and 512 samples per buffer,
this produces ~1875 kmalloc-128 allocations per second matching the
observed slab growth exactly. A test with ftrace confirmed that the
dma_fence_destroy event was never triggered.
Fix by calling dma_fence_put() after dma_resv_add_fence(), transferring
ownership of the fence to the DMA reservation object. The DMA fence then
gets properly discarded after being signalled. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpiolib: fix memory leak in gpiod_set_array_value_complex() on error paths
A drive-by review by Sashiko reports that, after a failed call to
gpiochip_set_multiple(), gpiod_set_array_value() returns abruptly,
bypassing the freeing of possibly alloced bitmaps, potentially leaking
memory. It is an unlikely error path, but is possible.
Defer the return code check until after the bitmap_free() block. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf: Fix perf_pmu_migrate_context() leaving events behind
__perf_pmu_remove() walks the group leaders of a CPU and PMU with
perf_event_groups_for_cpu_pmu(), removing each one as it goes.
perf_remove_from_context() takes the leader out of the groups rbtree,
after which rb_next() on that node returns NULL, prematurely ending the
walk. Other groups stay behind in the source context.
On CPU hotplug, they are then torn down with the dying CPU. They keep
running until teardown, while the PMU's interrupt and migrated events
are on a new CPU, which drivers rely on never happening.
Walk ctx->event_list instead and pick out the PMU's events by their
pmu_ctx. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: alps: unregister DualPoint Stick input device on remove
alps_input_configured() allocates a second input device ("DualPoint
Stick") with input_allocate_device() and registers it, but the
alps_driver struct has no .remove handler and input2 is not tracked in
hdev->inputs. The default remove path (hid_hw_stop -> hidinput_disconnect)
only iterates hdev->inputs, so input2 is never unregistered and leaks
on every device removal.
Add a .remove handler that stops the device first (preventing URB
callbacks from touching input2 during teardown) and then unregisters
input2. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scmi: Free transport channel on IDR failure
If transport channel setup succeeds but the following IDR insertion fails,
the error path destroys the transport device and frees the channel info
without invoking the transport cleanup callback.
Call chan_free() before destroying the device so transport specific
resources such as IRQs, mailbox channels and mapped shared memory are
released consistently with the normal teardown path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scmi: Drop handle on protocol bind failures
The SCMI bus notifier acquires an SCMI handle when the driver core emits
BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER, before invoking the protocol driver probe
callback. The protocol probe path only checks whether sdev->handle is
set.
If device_link_add() fails after the handle has been acquired, the
protocol device can still bind with a valid handle but without the
dependency link to the SCMI parent. A concurrent parent unbind can then
miss the child and tear down the SCMI instance while the child still
holds a handle into it.
If the protocol driver probe later fails, for example with
-EPROBE_DEFER, the driver core emits BUS_NOTIFY_DRIVER_NOT_BOUND rather
than BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER. The SCMI notifier only released the
handle on BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER, so each failed protocol-device bind
leaked the SCMI instance users refcount and left sdev->handle set after
the failed probe.
Make the link helper report failure and drop the acquired handle if the
link cannot be created. Also handle BUS_NOTIFY_DRIVER_NOT_BOUND in the
same cleanup path used for unbind so failed probes balance the earlier
BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER acquisition. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/cxgb4: Fix dereg_skb leak and double free in write_tpt_entry()
When the device is in the fatal error state, write_tpt_entry() returns -EIO
before handing the caller's preallocated skb to the transmit path; its
allocation-failure returns do the same. c4iw_dereg_mr() ignores the error
and frees mhp, leaking mhp->dereg_skb. c4iw_get_dma_mr() instead frees the
skb a second time after dereg_mem() already consumed it, a double free.
Make write_tpt_entry() the sole owner of a non-NULL skb, freeing it on
every return preceding handoff to c4iw_ofld_send(): fatal error, tpt and
stag allocation failure. c4iw_ofld_send() consumes the skb on success and
error alike, so drop the redundant kfree_skb() in c4iw_get_dma_mr() after
dereg_mem(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firewire: core: fix memory leak in error path of build_tree()
In the error path of build_tree(), node instances can remain in the local
linked list when the function returns.
Whenever an invalid value is detected in the self ID sequence, each
allocated node instance is either an entry in the linked list or an
entry in the ports array of its parent node. Therefore, the allocate
node instances can be safely released by traversing the linked list from
its head.
Release the remaining node instances with for_each_fw_node() before
returning to the caller. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
null_blk: free zones array on device power-off
null_init_zoned_dev() allocates dev->zones when a zoned device is powered
on, but null_del_dev() never frees it on power-off; dev->zones is only
freed later in null_free_dev(), when the configfs directory is removed. If
the device is powered off and then on again, null_init_zoned_dev()
allocates a new array and overwrites the dev->zones pointer, leaking the
previous allocation each power cycle.
Free dev->zones in null_del_dev() via null_free_zoned_dev() to solve it.
And calling null_free_zoned_dev() in null_free_dev() is no longer necessary
because every caller already invokes null_del_dev() first: via
nullb_group_drop_item() before nullb_device_release(), in the
null_add_dev() error path of null_create_dev(), and in null_destroy_dev().
Remove the redundant call.
And take &lock around zone_cond_store() in the two store wrappers to
serialize dev->zones check-and-deref against its alloc/free, which already
run under &lock. The reason there was no problem before is that only
nullb_device_release() or null_exit() frees the dev->zones, which
guarantees that subsequent users won't access the configfs interface. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: free preauth sessions on connection teardown
SMB3.1.1 multichannel binding preserves the preauthentication hash in a
preauth_session between the NTLM negotiate and authenticate requests.
The binding NTLM negotiate allocates this object and returns
STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED. If the client disconnects before it sends
the authenticate request, neither the authenticate nor error cleanup paths
free the object.
Release any remaining preauthentication sessions when tearing down the
connection. Initialize the list when allocating the connection so that this
cleanup is safe regardless of the negotiated dialect. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix request buffer leak in smb2_new_read_req()
smb2_new_read_req() allocates the request buffer with
smb2_plain_req_init() but only publishes it to the caller with
*buf = req at the very end of the function. Two error returns sit in
between:
rc = smb2_plain_req_init(SMB2_READ, io_parms->tcon, server,
(void **) &req, total_len);
if (rc)
return rc;
if (server == NULL)
return -ECONNABORTED;
[...]
rdata->mr = smbd_register_mr(server->smbd_conn,
&rdata->subreq.io_iter,
true, need_invalidate);
if (!rdata->mr)
return -EAGAIN;
On either of them the buffer is neither released nor handed back, so
it is leaked. The caller cannot clean up after it: smb2_async_readv()
does 'goto out' on a non-zero return, which skips the
cifs_small_buf_release(buf) at async_readv_out, and buf has not been
assigned at that point in any case.
The write path has never had this problem. smb2_async_writev()
registers the memory region inline and jumps to its release label
instead of returning:
wdata->mr = smbd_register_mr(...);
if (!wdata->mr) {
rc = -EAGAIN;
goto async_writev_out;
}
Commit b7972092199f ("cifs: smbd: Retry on memory registration
failure") changed both sides from -ENOBUFS to -EAGAIN in a single
patch, which puts the two shapes next to each other.
Only the -EAGAIN return is reachable in practice, because
smb2_plain_req_init() calls smb2_reconnect() first and that already
fails with -EIO when server is NULL, before anything is allocated.
Both returns are given the same treatment here rather than leaving
one of them correct only by accident.
Because -EAGAIN is a replayable error, the failure also reaches the
retry block at the end of smb2_async_readv(), which marks the
subrequest NETFS_SREQ_NEED_RETRY, so a failing registration can be
retried rather than ending the I/O, and every attempt that reaches it
leaks another buffer. smb2_should_replay() short-circuits on
tcon->retry, so on a hard mount the attempt count is not bounded by
the retrans setting.
Only the asynchronous read path is affected. The synchronous
SMB2_read() caller passes rdata == NULL and the memory registration
block is guarded on rdata.
The memory registration failure path was pointed out by the Sashiko
AI reviewer while it was reviewing an unrelated patch to
smb2_async_readv(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: light: ltrf216a: fix runtime PM reference leak in error path
ltrf216a_get_lux() acquires a runtime PM reference by calling
ltrf216a_set_power_state(data, true). However, if
ltrf216a_read_data() fails, the function returns immediately without
dropping the reference.
This leaves the runtime PM usage count unbalanced, preventing the device
from autosuspending after a failed read.
Fix this by releasing the runtime PM reference before returning from the
error path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/mlx5: Fix transport-domain rollback and initialize lb mutex earlier
mlx5_ib_alloc_transport_domain() allocates a transport domain and then
may fail in mlx5_ib_enable_lb(). In that case, the allocated TD is leaked.
Fix this by deallocating the TD when mlx5_ib_enable_lb() returns an
error. Also return 0 explicitly in the no-loopback-capability success
branch, and move dev->lb.mutex initialization to mlx5_ib_stage_init_init(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tcpci_rt1711h: unregister TCPCI port with devres
rt1711h_probe() registers the TCPCI port before requesting the interrupt
and enabling alert interrupts. If either of those later steps fails, the
probe function returns without unregistering the TCPCI port. The explicit
unregister currently only happens from the remove callback.
Register a devres action immediately after tcpci_register_port() succeeds,
so tcpci_unregister_port() runs on later probe failures and on driver
detach. Drop the remove callback to avoid unregistering the same port
twice.
This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while
reviewing kernel code. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: fix metabuf leak in inode xattr initialization
commit bb88e8da0025 ("erofs: use meta buffers for xattr operations")
converted xattr operations to use on-stack erofs_buf instances.
erofs_init_inode_xattrs() uses such a metabuf while reading the inline
xattr header and shared xattr id array.
Some error paths after erofs_read_metabuf() leave through out_unlock
without dropping the metabuf, so the folio reference can leak.
Consolidate the cleanup at out_unlock. erofs_put_metabuf() is a
no-op if no folio has been acquired, and this keeps all paths after
taking EROFS_I_BL_XATTR_BIT covered by a single cleanup site. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btmtk: fix urb->setup_packet leak in error paths
The setup_packet of control urb is not freed if usb_submit_urb fails or
the submitted urb is killed. Add free in these two paths. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: Don't WARN if memory is dirtied without a vCPU when the VM is dying
When marking a page dirty, complain about not having a running/loaded vCPU
if and only if the VM is still alive, i.e. its refcount is non-zero. This
will allow fixing a memory leak for x86 SEV-ES guests without hitting what
is effectively a false positive on the WARN.
For some SEV-ES VM-Exits, KVM keeps a writable mapping of a guest page
across an exit to userspace, and typically unmaps the page on the next
KVM_RUN. But if userspace never calls KVM_RUN after such an exit, then KVM
needs to unmap the page when the vCPU is destroyed, which in turn triggers
the WARN about not having a running vCPU.
Alternatively, SEV-ES could temporarily load the vCPU to suppress the WARN,
as is done in nested_vmx_free_vcpu() (but for completely unrelated reasons;
suppressing WARN from nested_put_vmcs12_pages() is pure happenstance). But
loading a vCPU during destruction is gross (ideally nVMX code would be
cleaned up), risks complicating the SEV-ES code (KVM would need to ensure
the temporarily load()+put() only runs when the vCPU isn't already loaded),
and is ultimately pointless.
The motivation for the WARN is to guard against KVM dirtying guest memory
without pushing the corresponding GFN to the active vCPU's dirty ring, e.g.
to ensure userspace doesn't miss a dirty page. But for the VM's refcount
to reach zero, there can't be _any_ userspace mappings to the dirty ring,
as mapping the dirty ring requires doing mmap() on the vCPU FD. I.e. if
userspace had a valid mapping for the dirty ring, then the vCPU file and
thus the owning VM would still be alive. And so since userspace can't
possibly reach the dirty ring, whether or not KVM technically "misses" a
push to the dirty ring is irrelevant. |

wifi: fix leak if split 6 GHz scanning fails
rdev->int_scan_req is leaked if cfg80211_scan() fails. Note that it's
supposed to be released at ___cfg80211_scan_done() but this doesn't happen
as rdev->scan_req is NULL at that point, too, leading to the early return
from the freeing function.

net/mlx5e: xsk: Fix DMA and xdp_frame leak on XDP_TX xmit failure
In the XSK branch of mlx5e_xmit_xdp_buff(), when sq->xmit_xdp_frame()
returns false (e.g. XDPSQ is full), the function returns without
unmapping the DMA address or freeing the xdp_frame allocated by
xdp_convert_zc_to_xdp_frame(). The xdpi_fifo push only happens on
success, so the completion path cannot recover these entries.
With CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y, the leak surfaces on driver unbind:
