In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: marvell: prestera: fix memory leak in prestera_rxtx_switch_init() When prestera_sdma_switch_init() failed, the memory pointed to by sw->rxtx isn't released. Fix it. Only be compiled, not be tested.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usbnet: fix memory leak in error case usbnet_write_cmd_async() mixed up which buffers need to be freed in which error case. v2: add Fixes tag v3: fix uninitialized buf pointer

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: ti: k3-udma-glue: fix memory leak when register device fail If device_register() fails, it should call put_device() to give up reference, the name allocated in dev_set_name() can be freed in callback function kobject_cleanup().

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.

gss_mech_free in net/sunrpc/auth_gss/gss_mech_switch.c in the rpcsec_gss_krb5 implementation in the Linux kernel through 5.6.10 lacks certain domain_release calls, leading to a memory leak. Note: This was disputed with the assertion that the issue does not grant any access not already available. It is a problem that on unloading a specific kernel module some memory is leaked, but loading kernel modules is a privileged operation. A user could also write a kernel module to consume any amount of memory they like and load that replicating the effect of this bug

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ima: Fix potential memory leak in ima_init_crypto() On failure to allocate the SHA1 tfm, IMA fails to initialize and exits without freeing the ima_algo_array. Add the missing kfree() for ima_algo_array to avoid the potential memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfs4: Fix kmemleak when allocate slot failed If one of the slot allocate failed, should cleanup all the other allocated slots, otherwise, the allocated slots will leak: unreferenced object 0xffff8881115aa100 (size 64): comm ""mount.nfs"", pid 679, jiffies 4294744957 (age 115.037s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 cc 19 73 81 88 ff ff 00 a0 5a 11 81 88 ff ff ...s......Z..... 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<000000007a4c434a>] nfs4_find_or_create_slot+0x8e/0x130 [<000000005472a39c>] nfs4_realloc_slot_table+0x23f/0x270 [<00000000cd8ca0eb>] nfs40_init_client+0x4a/0x90 [<00000000128486db>] nfs4_init_client+0xce/0x270 [<000000008d2cacad>] nfs4_set_client+0x1a2/0x2b0 [<000000000e593b52>] nfs4_create_server+0x300/0x5f0 [<00000000e4425dd2>] nfs4_try_get_tree+0x65/0x110 [<00000000d3a6176f>] vfs_get_tree+0x41/0xf0 [<0000000016b5ad4c>] path_mount+0x9b3/0xdd0 [<00000000494cae71>] __x64_sys_mount+0x190/0x1d0 [<000000005d56bdec>] do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 [<00000000687c9ae4>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: cfg80211: fix memory leak in query_regdb_file() In the function query_regdb_file() the alpha2 parameter is duplicated using kmemdup() and subsequently freed in regdb_fw_cb(). However, request_firmware_nowait() can fail without calling regdb_fw_cb() and thus leak memory.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: nxp-nci: Fix potential memory leak in nxp_nci_send() nxp_nci_send() will call nxp_nci_i2c_write(), and only free skb when nxp_nci_i2c_write() failed. However, even if the nxp_nci_i2c_write() run succeeds, the skb will not be freed in nxp_nci_i2c_write(). As the result, the skb will memleak. nxp_nci_send() should also free the skb when nxp_nci_i2c_write() succeeds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: nfcmrvl: Fix potential memory leak in nfcmrvl_i2c_nci_send() nfcmrvl_i2c_nci_send() will be called by nfcmrvl_nci_send(), and skb should be freed in nfcmrvl_i2c_nci_send(). However, nfcmrvl_nci_send() will only free skb when i2c_master_send() return >=0, which means skb will memleak when i2c_master_send() failed. Free skb no matter whether i2c_master_send() succeeds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: piix4: Fix a memory leak in the EFCH MMIO support The recently added support for EFCH MMIO regions introduced a memory leak in that code path. The leak is caused by the fact that release_resource() merely removes the resource from the tree but does not free its memory. We need to call release_mem_region() instead, which does free the memory. As a nice side effect, this brings back some symmetry between the legacy and MMIO paths.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: capabilities: fix potential memleak on error path from vfs_getxattr_alloc() In cap_inode_getsecurity(), we will use vfs_getxattr_alloc() to complete the memory allocation of tmpbuf, if we have completed the memory allocation of tmpbuf, but failed to call handler->get(...), there will be a memleak in below logic: |-- ret = (int)vfs_getxattr_alloc(mnt_userns, ...) | /* ^^^ alloc for tmpbuf */ |-- value = krealloc(*xattr_value, error + 1, flags) | /* ^^^ alloc memory */ |-- error = handler->get(handler, ...) | /* error! */ |-- *xattr_value = value | /* xattr_value is &tmpbuf (memory leak!) */ So we will try to free(tmpbuf) after vfs_getxattr_alloc() fails to fix it. [PM: subject line and backtrace tweaks]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: wwan: iosm: fix memory leak in ipc_pcie_read_bios_cfg ipc_pcie_read_bios_cfg() is using the acpi_evaluate_dsm() to obtain the wwan power state configuration from BIOS but is not freeing the acpi_object. The acpi_evaluate_dsm() returned acpi_object to be freed. Free the acpi_object after use.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: dsa: Fix possible memory leaks in dsa_loop_init() kmemleak reported memory leaks in dsa_loop_init(): kmemleak: 12 new suspected memory leaks unreferenced object 0xffff8880138ce000 (size 2048): comm "modprobe", pid 390, jiffies 4295040478 (age 238.976s) backtrace: [<000000006a94f1d5>] kmalloc_trace+0x26/0x60 [<00000000a9c44622>] phy_device_create+0x5d/0x970 [<00000000d0ee2afc>] get_phy_device+0xf3/0x2b0 [<00000000dca0c71f>] __fixed_phy_register.part.0+0x92/0x4e0 [<000000008a834798>] fixed_phy_register+0x84/0xb0 [<0000000055223fcb>] dsa_loop_init+0xa9/0x116 [dsa_loop] ... There are two reasons for memleak in dsa_loop_init(). First, fixed_phy_register() create and register phy_device: fixed_phy_register() get_phy_device() phy_device_create() # freed by phy_device_free() phy_device_register() # freed by phy_device_remove() But fixed_phy_unregister() only calls phy_device_remove(). So the memory allocated in phy_device_create() is leaked. Second, when mdio_driver_register() fail in dsa_loop_init(), it just returns and there is no cleanup for phydevs. Fix the problems by catching the error of mdio_driver_register() in dsa_loop_init(), then calling both fixed_phy_unregister() and phy_device_free() to release phydevs. Also add a function for phydevs cleanup to avoid duplacate.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: wwan: iosm: fix memory leak in ipc_wwan_dellink IOSM driver registers network device without setting the needs_free_netdev flag, and does NOT call free_netdev() when unregisters network device, which causes a memory leak. This patch sets needs_free_netdev to true when registers network device, which makes netdev subsystem call free_netdev() automatically after unregister_netdevice().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: qat - fix memory leak in RSA When an RSA key represented in form 2 (as defined in PKCS #1 V2.1) is used, some components of the private key persist even after the TFM is released. Replace the explicit calls to free the buffers in qat_rsa_exit_tfm() with a call to qat_rsa_clear_ctx() which frees all buffers referenced in the TFM context.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf, sockmap: Fix memleak in tcp_bpf_sendmsg while sk msg is full If tcp_bpf_sendmsg() is running while sk msg is full. When sk_msg_alloc() returns -ENOMEM error, tcp_bpf_sendmsg() goes to wait_for_memory. If partial memory has been alloced by sk_msg_alloc(), that is, msg_tx->sg.size is greater than osize after sk_msg_alloc(), memleak occurs. To fix we use sk_msg_trim() to release the allocated memory, then goto wait for memory. Other call paths of sk_msg_alloc() have the similar issue, such as tls_sw_sendmsg(), so handle sk_msg_trim logic inside sk_msg_alloc(), as Cong Wang suggested. This issue can cause the following info: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 7950 at net/core/stream.c:208 sk_stream_kill_queues+0xd4/0x1a0 Call Trace: <TASK> inet_csk_destroy_sock+0x55/0x110 __tcp_close+0x279/0x470 tcp_close+0x1f/0x60 inet_release+0x3f/0x80 __sock_release+0x3d/0xb0 sock_close+0x11/0x20 __fput+0x92/0x250 task_work_run+0x6a/0xa0 do_exit+0x33b/0xb60 do_group_exit+0x2f/0xa0 get_signal+0xb6/0x950 arch_do_signal_or_restart+0xac/0x2a0 exit_to_user_mode_prepare+0xa9/0x200 syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x12/0x30 do_syscall_64+0x46/0x80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae </TASK> WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 2094 at net/ipv4/af_inet.c:155 inet_sock_destruct+0x13c/0x260 Call Trace: <TASK> __sk_destruct+0x24/0x1f0 sk_psock_destroy+0x19b/0x1c0 process_one_work+0x1b3/0x3c0 kthread+0xe6/0x110 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 </TASK>

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: ixgbe: fix pci device refcount leak As the comment of pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() says, it returns a PCI device with refcount incremented, when finish using it, the caller must decrement the reference count by calling pci_dev_put(). In ixgbe_get_first_secondary_devfn() and ixgbe_x550em_a_has_mii(), pci_dev_put() is called to avoid leak.

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. ]

For example, when PAGE_SIZE_4KB is enabled and MIPS_VA_BITS_48 is not enabled in a 64bit system, the macro "PGD_ORDER" will be set as "1", which will cause allocating two pages as the pgd table. Well, at the same time, the generic implementation pgd_free() just free one pgd page, which will result in the memory leak. The memory leak can be easily detected by executing shell command: "while true; do ls > /dev/null; grep MemFree /proc/meminfo; done"

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/amd: Fix I/O page table memory leak The current logic updates the I/O page table mode for the domain before calling the logic to free memory used for the page table. This results in IOMMU page table memory leak, and can be observed when launching VM w/ pass-through devices. Fix by freeing the memory used for page table before updating the mode.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: wfx: fix an error handling in wfx_init_common() One error handler of wfx_init_common() return without calling ieee80211_free_hw(hw), which may result in memory leak. And I add one err label to unify the error handler, which is useful for the subsequent changes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watch_queue: Free the page array when watch_queue is dismantled Commit 7ea1a0124b6d ("watch_queue: Free the alloc bitmap when the watch_queue is torn down") took care of the bitmap, but not the page array.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Fix memory leak [why] Resource release is needed on the error handling path to prevent memory leak. [how] Fix this by adding kfree on the error handling path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal/core: Fix memory leak in __thermal_cooling_device_register() I got memory leak as follows when doing fault injection test: unreferenced object 0xffff888010080000 (size 264312): comm "182", pid 102533, jiffies 4296434960 (age 10.100s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 ad 4e ad de ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 .....N.......... ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 40 7f 1f b9 ff ff ff ff ........@....... backtrace: [<0000000038b2f4fc>] kmalloc_order_trace+0x1d/0x110 mm/slab_common.c:969 [<00000000ebcb8da5>] __kmalloc+0x373/0x420 include/linux/slab.h:510 [<0000000084137f13>] thermal_cooling_device_setup_sysfs+0x15d/0x2d0 include/linux/slab.h:586 [<00000000352b8755>] __thermal_cooling_device_register+0x332/0xa60 drivers/thermal/thermal_core.c:927 [<00000000fb9f331b>] devm_thermal_of_cooling_device_register+0x6b/0xf0 drivers/thermal/thermal_core.c:1041 [<000000009b8012d2>] max6650_probe.cold+0x557/0x6aa drivers/hwmon/max6650.c:211 [<00000000da0b7e04>] i2c_device_probe+0x472/0xac0 drivers/i2c/i2c-core-base.c:561 If device_register() fails, thermal_cooling_device_destroy_sysfs() need be called to free the memory allocated in thermal_cooling_device_setup_sysfs().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: fix memory leak during stateful obj update stateful objects can be updated from the control plane. The transaction logic allocates a temporary object for this purpose. The ->init function was called for this object, so plain kfree() leaks resources. We must call ->destroy function of the object. nft_obj_destroy does this, but it also decrements the module refcount, but the update path doesn't increment it. To avoid special-casing the update object release, do module_get for the update case too and release it via nft_obj_destroy().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: sfp: fix memory leak in sfp_probe() sfp_probe() allocates a memory chunk from sfp with sfp_alloc(). When devm_add_action() fails, sfp is not freed, which leads to a memory leak. We should use devm_add_action_or_reset() instead of devm_add_action().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ice: switch: fix potential memleak in ice_add_adv_recipe() When ice_add_special_words() fails, the 'rm' is not released, which will lead to a memory leak. Fix this up by going to 'err_unroll' label. Compile tested only.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vfio/pci: fix memory leak during D3hot to D0 transition If 'vfio_pci_core_device::needs_pm_restore' is set (PCI device does not have No_Soft_Reset bit set in its PMCSR config register), then the current PCI state will be saved locally in 'vfio_pci_core_device::pm_save' during D0->D3hot transition and same will be restored back during D3hot->D0 transition. For saving the PCI state locally, pci_store_saved_state() is being used and the pci_load_and_free_saved_state() will free the allocated memory. But for reset related IOCTLs, vfio driver calls PCI reset-related API's which will internally change the PCI power state back to D0. So, when the guest resumes, then it will get the current state as D0 and it will skip the call to vfio_pci_set_power_state() for changing the power state to D0 explicitly. In this case, the memory pointed by 'pm_save' will never be freed. In a malicious sequence, the state changing to D3hot followed by VFIO_DEVICE_RESET/VFIO_DEVICE_PCI_HOT_RESET can be run in a loop and it can cause an OOM situation. This patch frees the earlier allocated memory first before overwriting 'pm_save' to prevent the mentioned memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Call dc_stream_release for remove link enc assignment [Why] A porting error resulted in the stream assignment for the link being retained without being released - a memory leak. [How] Fix the porting error by adding back the dc_stream_release() intended as part of the original patch.
