In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kernel/irq/irqdomain.c: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup() When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it, otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic at once.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: Fix memleak of nhc_pcpu_rth_output in fib_check_nh_v6_gw(). fib_check_nh_v6_gw() expects that fib6_nh_init() cleans up everything when it fails. Commit 7dd73168e273 ("ipv6: Always allocate pcpu memory in a fib6_nh") moved fib_nh_common_init() before alloc_percpu_gfp() within fib6_nh_init() but forgot to add cleanup for fib6_nh->nh_common.nhc_pcpu_rth_output in case it fails to allocate fib6_nh->rt6i_pcpu, resulting in memleak. Let's call fib_nh_common_release() and clear nhc_pcpu_rth_output in the error path. Note that we can remove the fib6_nh_release() call in nh_create_ipv6() later in net-next.git.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: fix memory leak of LZMA global compressed deduplication When stressing microLZMA EROFS images with the new global compressed deduplication feature enabled (`-Ededupe`), I found some short-lived temporary pages weren't properly released, which could slowly cause unexpected OOMs hours later. Let's fix it now (LZ4 and DEFLATE don't have this issue.)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpio: virtuser: fix missing lookup table cleanups When a virtuser device is created via configfs and the probe fails due to an incorrect lookup table, the table is not removed. This prevents subsequent probe attempts from succeeding, even if the issue is corrected, unless the device is released. Additionally, cleanup is also needed in the less likely case of platform_device_register_full() failure. Besides, a consistent memory leak in lookup_table->dev_id was spotted using kmemleak by toggling the live state between 0 and 1 with a correct lookup table. Introduce gpio_virtuser_remove_lookup_table() as the counterpart to the existing gpio_virtuser_make_lookup_table() and call it from all necessary points to ensure proper cleanup.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio/vsock: Fix accept_queue memory leak As the final stages of socket destruction may be delayed, it is possible that virtio_transport_recv_listen() will be called after the accept_queue has been flushed, but before the SOCK_DONE flag has been set. As a result, sockets enqueued after the flush would remain unremoved, leading to a memory leak. vsock_release __vsock_release lock virtio_transport_release virtio_transport_close schedule_delayed_work(close_work) sk_shutdown = SHUTDOWN_MASK (!) flush accept_queue release virtio_transport_recv_pkt vsock_find_bound_socket lock if flag(SOCK_DONE) return virtio_transport_recv_listen child = vsock_create_connected (!) vsock_enqueue_accept(child) release close_work lock virtio_transport_do_close set_flag(SOCK_DONE) virtio_transport_remove_sock vsock_remove_sock vsock_remove_bound release Introduce a sk_shutdown check to disallow vsock_enqueue_accept() during socket destruction. unreferenced object 0xffff888109e3f800 (size 2040): comm "kworker/5:2", pid 371, jiffies 4294940105 hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 28 00 0b 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 (..@............ backtrace (crc 9e5f4e84): [<ffffffff81418ff1>] kmem_cache_alloc_noprof+0x2c1/0x360 [<ffffffff81d27aa0>] sk_prot_alloc+0x30/0x120 [<ffffffff81d2b54c>] sk_alloc+0x2c/0x4b0 [<ffffffff81fe049a>] __vsock_create.constprop.0+0x2a/0x310 [<ffffffff81fe6d6c>] virtio_transport_recv_pkt+0x4dc/0x9a0 [<ffffffff81fe745d>] vsock_loopback_work+0xfd/0x140 [<ffffffff810fc6ac>] process_one_work+0x20c/0x570 [<ffffffff810fce3f>] worker_thread+0x1bf/0x3a0 [<ffffffff811070dd>] kthread+0xdd/0x110 [<ffffffff81044fdd>] ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x50 [<ffffffff8100785a>] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: fix memory leak in ceph_mds_auth_match() We now free the temporary target path substring allocation on every possible branch, instead of omitting the default branch. In some cases, a memory leak occured, which could rapidly crash the system (depending on how many file accesses were attempted). This was detected in production because it caused a continuous memory growth, eventually triggering kernel OOM and completely hard-locking the kernel.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: dvbdev: Fix memory leak in dvb_media_device_free() dvb_media_device_free() is leaking memory. Free `dvbdev->adapter->conn` before setting it to NULL, as documented in include/media/media-device.h: "The media_entity instance itself must be freed explicitly by the driver if required."
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/huge_memory: drop beyond-EOF folios with the right number of refs When an after-split folio is large and needs to be dropped due to EOF, folio_put_refs(folio, folio_nr_pages(folio)) should be used to drop all page cache refs. Otherwise, the folio will not be freed, causing memory leak. This leak would happen on a filesystem with blocksize > page_size and a truncate is performed, where the blocksize makes folios split to >0 order ones, causing truncated folios not being freed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix memory leaks in __check_func_call kmemleak reports this issue: unreferenced object 0xffff88817139d000 (size 2048): comm "test_progs", pid 33246, jiffies 4307381979 (age 45851.820s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<0000000045f075f0>] kmalloc_trace+0x27/0xa0 [<0000000098b7c90a>] __check_func_call+0x316/0x1230 [<00000000b4c3c403>] check_helper_call+0x172e/0x4700 [<00000000aa3875b7>] do_check+0x21d8/0x45e0 [<000000001147357b>] do_check_common+0x767/0xaf0 [<00000000b5a595b4>] bpf_check+0x43e3/0x5bc0 [<0000000011e391b1>] bpf_prog_load+0xf26/0x1940 [<0000000007f765c0>] __sys_bpf+0xd2c/0x3650 [<00000000839815d6>] __x64_sys_bpf+0x75/0xc0 [<00000000946ee250>] do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90 [<0000000000506b7f>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd The root case here is: In function prepare_func_exit(), the callee is not released in the abnormal scenario after "state->curframe--;". To fix, move "state->curframe--;" to the very bottom of the function, right when we free callee and reset frame[] pointer to NULL, as Andrii suggested. In addition, function __check_func_call() has a similar problem. In the abnormal scenario before "state->curframe++;", the callee also should be released by free_func_state().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: go7007: fix a memleak in go7007_load_encoder In go7007_load_encoder, bounce(i.e. go->boot_fw), is allocated without a deallocation thereafter. After the following call chain: saa7134_go7007_init |-> go7007_boot_encoder |-> go7007_load_encoder |-> kfree(go) go is freed and thus bounce is leaked.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio/vsock: Improve MSG_ZEROCOPY error handling Add a missing kfree_skb() to prevent memory leaks.
An issue was discovered in Xen 4.6 through 4.14.x. When acting upon a guest XS_RESET_WATCHES request, not all tracking information is freed. A guest can cause unbounded memory usage in oxenstored. This can lead to a system-wide DoS. Only systems using the Ocaml Xenstored implementation are vulnerable. Systems using the C Xenstored implementation are not vulnerable.
A memory leak flaw was found in nft_set_catchall_flush in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c in the Linux Kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker to cause double-deactivations of catchall elements, which can result in a memory leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: bcmasp: fix potential memory leak in bcmasp_xmit() The bcmasp_xmit() returns NETDEV_TX_OK without freeing skb in case of mapping fails, add dev_kfree_skb() to fix it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/sclp: Prevent release of buffer in I/O When a task waiting for completion of a Store Data operation is interrupted, an attempt is made to halt this operation. If this attempt fails due to a hardware or firmware problem, there is a chance that the SCLP facility might store data into buffers referenced by the original operation at a later time. Handle this situation by not releasing the referenced data buffers if the halt attempt fails. For current use cases, this might result in a leak of few pages of memory in case of a rare hardware/firmware malfunction.

Yet the problem is that, HCI core may not free the skb after handling ACL data packets. To be more specific, when start fragment does not contain the L2CAP length, HCI core just copies skb into conn->rx_skb and finishes frame process in l2cap_recv_acldata(), without freeing the skb, which triggers the above memory leak. This patch solves it by releasing the relative skb, after processing the above case in l2cap_recv_acldata().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: ctnetlink: use helper function to calculate expect ID Delete expectation path is missing a call to the nf_expect_get_id() helper function to calculate the expectation ID, otherwise LSB of the expectation object address is leaked to userspace.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe: Fix missing workqueue destroy in xe_gt_pagefault On driver reload we never free up the memory for the pagefault and access counter workqueues. Add those destroy calls here. (cherry picked from commit 7586fc52b14e0b8edd0d1f8a434e0de2078b7b2b)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: can327: can327_feed_frame_to_netdev(): fix potential skb leak when netdev is down In can327_feed_frame_to_netdev(), it did not free the skb when netdev is down, and all callers of can327_feed_frame_to_netdev() did not free allocated skb too. That would trigger skb leak. Fix it by adding kfree_skb() in can327_feed_frame_to_netdev() when netdev is down. Not tested, just compiled.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: initialize integrity buffer to zero before writing it to media Metadata added by bio_integrity_prep is using plain kmalloc, which leads to random kernel memory being written media. For PI metadata this is limited to the app tag that isn't used by kernel generated metadata, but for non-PI metadata the entire buffer leaks kernel memory. Fix this by adding the __GFP_ZERO flag to allocations for writes.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: devres: Fix memory leakage caused by driver API devm_free_percpu() It will cause memory leakage when use driver API devm_free_percpu() to free memory allocated by devm_alloc_percpu(), fixed by using devres_release() instead of devres_destroy() within devm_free_percpu().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme: apple: fix device reference counting Drivers must call nvme_uninit_ctrl after a successful nvme_init_ctrl. Split the allocation side out to make the error handling boundary easier to navigate. The apple driver had been doing this wrong, leaking the controller device memory on a tagset failure.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: usb: qmi_wwan: fix memory leak for not ip packets Free the unused skb when not ip packets arrive.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/v3d: Fix potential memory leak in the timestamp extension If fetching of userspace memory fails during the main loop, all drm sync objs looked up until that point will be leaked because of the missing drm_syncobj_put. Fix it by exporting and using a common cleanup helper. (cherry picked from commit 753ce4fea62182c77e1691ab4f9022008f25b62e)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cpufreq: amd-pstate: fix memory leak on CPU EPP exit The cpudata memory from kzalloc() in amd_pstate_epp_cpu_init() is not freed in the analogous exit function, so fix that. [ rjw: Subject and changelog edits ]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: misc: fastrpc: Fix memory leak in audio daemon attach operation Audio PD daemon send the name as part of the init IOCTL call. This name needs to be copied to kernel for which memory is allocated. This memory is never freed which might result in memory leak. Free the memory when it is not needed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtlwifi: fix memory leaks and invalid access at probe error path Deinitialize at reverse order when probe fails. When init_sw_vars fails, rtl_deinit_core should not be called, specially now that it destroys the rtl_wq workqueue. And call rtl_pci_deinit and deinit_sw_vars, otherwise, memory will be leaked. Remove pci_set_drvdata call as it will already be cleaned up by the core driver code and could lead to memory leaks too. cf. commit 8d450935ae7f ("wireless: rtlwifi: remove unnecessary pci_set_drvdata()") and commit 3d86b93064c7 ("rtlwifi: Fix PCI probe error path orphaned memory").
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: ufs: pltfrm: Dellocate HBA during ufshcd_pltfrm_remove() This will ensure that the scsi host is cleaned up properly using scsi_host_dev_release(). Otherwise, it may lead to memory leaks.
A memory leak flaw and potential divide by zero and Integer overflow was found in the Linux kernel V4L2 and vivid test code functionality. This issue occurs when a user triggers ioctls, such as VIDIOC_S_DV_TIMINGS ioctl. This could allow a local user to crash the system if vivid test code enabled.
A flaw memory leak in the Linux kernel performance monitoring subsystem was found in the way if using PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_FILTER. A local user could use this flaw to starve the resources causing denial of service.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: Fix possible memory leak for rq_wb on add_disk failure kmemleak reported memory leaks in device_add_disk(): kmemleak: 3 new suspected memory leaks unreferenced object 0xffff88800f420800 (size 512): comm "modprobe", pid 4275, jiffies 4295639067 (age 223.512s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 04 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 e1 f5 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<00000000d3662699>] kmalloc_trace+0x26/0x60 [<00000000edc7aadc>] wbt_init+0x50/0x6f0 [<0000000069601d16>] wbt_enable_default+0x157/0x1c0 [<0000000028fc393f>] blk_register_queue+0x2a4/0x420 [<000000007345a042>] device_add_disk+0x6fd/0xe40 [<0000000060e6aab0>] nbd_dev_add+0x828/0xbf0 [nbd] ... It is because the memory allocated in wbt_enable_default() is not released in device_add_disk() error path. Normally, these memory are freed in: del_gendisk() rq_qos_exit() rqos->ops->exit(rqos); wbt_exit() So rq_qos_exit() is called to free the rq_wb memory for wbt_init(). However in the error path of device_add_disk(), only blk_unregister_queue() is called and make rq_wb memory leaked. Add rq_qos_exit() to the error path to fix it.
A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel. It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is the function ipv6_renew_options of the component IPv6 Handler. The manipulation leads to memory leak. The attack can be launched remotely. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier VDB-211021 was assigned to this vulnerability.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/cm: Fix memory leak in ib_cm_insert_listen cm_alloc_id_priv() allocates resource for the cm_id_priv. When cm_init_listen() fails it doesn't free it, leading to memory leak. Add the missing error unwind.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: sh7760fb: Fix a possible memory leak in sh7760fb_alloc_mem() When information such as info->screen_base is not ready, calling sh7760fb_free_mem() does not release memory correctly. Call dma_free_coherent() instead.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: kprobe: Fix memory leak in test_gen_kprobe/kretprobe_cmd() test_gen_kprobe_cmd() only free buf in fail path, hence buf will leak when there is no failure. Move kfree(buf) from fail path to common path to prevent the memleak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: fdp: Fix potential memory leak in fdp_nci_send() fdp_nci_send() will call fdp_nci_i2c_write that will not free skb in the function. As a result, when fdp_nci_i2c_write() finished, the skb will memleak. fdp_nci_send() should free skb after fdp_nci_i2c_write() finished.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: nfcmrvl: Fix memory leak in nfcmrvl_play_deferred Similar to the handling of play_deferred in commit 19cfe912c37b ("Bluetooth: btusb: Fix memory leak in play_deferred"), we thought a patch might be needed here as well. Currently usb_submit_urb is called directly to submit deferred tx urbs after unanchor them. So the usb_giveback_urb_bh would failed to unref it in usb_unanchor_urb and cause memory leak. Put those urbs in tx_anchor to avoid the leak, and also fix the error handling.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc2: Fix memory leak in dwc2_hcd_init usb_create_hcd will alloc memory for hcd, and we should call usb_put_hcd to free it when platform_get_resource() fails to prevent memory leak. goto error2 label instead error1 to fix this.
A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Linux Kernel. This issue affects the function unix_sock_destructor/unix_release_sock of the file net/unix/af_unix.c of the component BPF. The manipulation leads to memory leak. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211043.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vfio/mlx5: Fix an unwind issue in mlx5vf_add_migration_pages() Fix an unwind issue in mlx5vf_add_migration_pages(). If a set of pages is allocated but fails to be added to the SG table, they need to be freed to prevent a memory leak. Any pages successfully added to the SG table will be freed as part of mlx5vf_free_data_buffer().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/kexec: fix memory leak of elf header buffer This is reported by kmemleak detector: unreferenced object 0xffffc900002a9000 (size 4096): comm "kexec", pid 14950, jiffies 4295110793 (age 373.951s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .ELF............ 04 00 3e 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ..>............. backtrace: [<0000000016a8ef9f>] __vmalloc_node_range+0x101/0x170 [<000000002b66b6c0>] __vmalloc_node+0xb4/0x160 [<00000000ad40107d>] crash_prepare_elf64_headers+0x8e/0xcd0 [<0000000019afff23>] crash_load_segments+0x260/0x470 [<0000000019ebe95c>] bzImage64_load+0x814/0xad0 [<0000000093e16b05>] arch_kexec_kernel_image_load+0x1be/0x2a0 [<000000009ef2fc88>] kimage_file_alloc_init+0x2ec/0x5a0 [<0000000038f5a97a>] __do_sys_kexec_file_load+0x28d/0x530 [<0000000087c19992>] do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90 [<0000000066e063a4>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae In crash_prepare_elf64_headers(), a buffer is allocated via vmalloc() to store elf headers. While it's not freed back to system correctly when kdump kernel is reloaded or unloaded. Then memory leak is caused. Fix it by introducing x86 specific function arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup(), and freeing the buffer there. And also remove the incorrect elf header buffer freeing code. Before calling arch specific kexec_file loading function, the image instance has been initialized. So 'image->elf_headers' must be NULL. It doesn't make sense to free the elf header buffer in the place. Three different people have reported three bugs about the memory leak on x86_64 inside Redhat.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/MCE/AMD: Fix memory leak when threshold_create_bank() fails In mce_threshold_create_device(), if threshold_create_bank() fails, the previously allocated threshold banks array @bp will be leaked because the call to mce_threshold_remove_device() will not free it. This happens because mce_threshold_remove_device() fetches the pointer through the threshold_banks per-CPU variable but bp is written there only after the bank creation is successful, and not before, when threshold_create_bank() fails. Add a helper which unwinds all the bank creation work previously done and pass into it the previously allocated threshold banks array for freeing. [ bp: Massage. ]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/ntfs3: provide block_invalidate_folio to fix memory leak The ntfs3 filesystem lacks the 'invalidate_folio' method and it causes memory leak. If you write to the filesystem and then unmount it, the cached written data are not freed and they are permanently leaked.
