In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: ccp - Use kzalloc for sev ioctl interfaces to prevent kernel memory leak For some sev ioctl interfaces, input may be passed that is less than or equal to SEV_FW_BLOB_MAX_SIZE, but larger than the data that PSP firmware returns. In this case, kmalloc will allocate memory that is the size of the input rather than the size of the data. Since PSP firmware doesn't fully overwrite the buffer, the sev ioctl interfaces with the issue may return uninitialized slab memory. Currently, all of the ioctl interfaces in the ccp driver are safe, but to prevent future problems, change all ioctl interfaces that allocate memory with kmalloc to use kzalloc and memset the data buffer to zero in sev_ioctl_do_platform_status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: amt: fix memory leak for advertisement message When a gateway receives an advertisement message, it extracts relay information and then it should be freed. But the advertisement handler doesn't free it. So, memory leak would occur.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: tun: Fix memory leaks of napi_get_frags kmemleak reports after running test_progs: unreferenced object 0xffff8881b1672dc0 (size 232): comm "test_progs", pid 394388, jiffies 4354712116 (age 841.975s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): e0 84 d7 a8 81 88 ff ff 80 2c 67 b1 81 88 ff ff .........,g..... 00 40 c5 9b 81 88 ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .@.............. backtrace: [<00000000c8f01748>] napi_skb_cache_get+0xd4/0x150 [<0000000041c7fc09>] __napi_build_skb+0x15/0x50 [<00000000431c7079>] __napi_alloc_skb+0x26e/0x540 [<000000003ecfa30e>] napi_get_frags+0x59/0x140 [<0000000099b2199e>] tun_get_user+0x183d/0x3bb0 [tun] [<000000008a5adef0>] tun_chr_write_iter+0xc0/0x1b1 [tun] [<0000000049993ff4>] do_iter_readv_writev+0x19f/0x320 [<000000008f338ea2>] do_iter_write+0x135/0x630 [<000000008a3377a4>] vfs_writev+0x12e/0x440 [<00000000a6b5639a>] do_writev+0x104/0x280 [<00000000ccf065d8>] do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90 [<00000000d776e329>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd The issue occurs in the following scenarios: tun_get_user() napi_gro_frags() napi_frags_finish() case GRO_NORMAL: gro_normal_one() list_add_tail(&skb->list, &napi->rx_list); <-- While napi->rx_count < READ_ONCE(gro_normal_batch), <-- gro_normal_list() is not called, napi->rx_list is not empty <-- not ask to complete the gro work, will cause memory leaks in <-- following tun_napi_del() ... tun_napi_del() netif_napi_del() __netif_napi_del() <-- &napi->rx_list is not empty, which caused memory leaks To fix, add napi_complete() after napi_gro_frags().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kunit: executor: Fix a memory leak on failure in kunit_filter_tests It's possible that memory allocation for 'filtered' will fail, but for the copy of the suite to succeed. In this case, the copy could be leaked. Properly free 'copy' in the error case for the allocation of 'filtered' failing. Note that there may also have been a similar issue in kunit_filter_subsuites, before it was removed in "kunit: flatten kunit_suite*** to kunit_suite** in .kunit_test_suites". This was reported by clang-analyzer via the kernel test robot, here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/c8073b8e-7b9e-0830-4177-87c12f16349c@intel.com/ And by smatch via Dan Carpenter and the kernel test robot: https://lore.kernel.org/all/202207101328.ASjx88yj-lkp@intel.com/

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/imagination: Free pvr_vm_gpuva after unlink This caused a measurable memory leak. Although the individual allocations are small, the leaks occurs in a high-usage codepath (remapping or unmapping device memory) so they add up quickly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: lantiq_xrx200: restore buffer if memory allocation failed In a situation where memory allocation fails, an invalid buffer address is stored. When this descriptor is used again, the system panics in the build_skb() function when accessing memory.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeontx2-af: Fix mcam entry resource leak The teardown sequence in FLR handler returns if no NIX LF is attached to PF/VF because it indicates that graceful shutdown of resources already happened. But there is a chance of all allocated MCAM entries not being freed by PF/VF. Hence free mcam entries even in case of detached LF.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: phy: qcom-qmp: fix struct clk leak on probe errors Make sure to release the pipe clock reference in case of a late probe error (e.g. probe deferral).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: hda: fix potential memleak in 'add_widget_node' As 'kobject_add' may allocated memory for 'kobject->name' when return error. And in this function, if call 'kobject_add' failed didn't free kobject. So call 'kobject_put' to recycling resources.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/region: Fix cxl_region leak, cleanup targets at region delete When a region is deleted any targets that have been previously assigned to that region hold references to it. Trigger those references to drop by detaching all targets at unregister_region() time. Otherwise that region object will leak as userspace has lost the ability to detach targets once region sysfs is torn down.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: trigger: sysfs: fix possible memory leak in iio_sysfs_trig_init() dev_set_name() allocates memory for name, it need be freed when device_add() fails, call put_device() to give up the reference that hold in device_initialize(), so that it can be freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount hit to 0.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/drv: Fix potential memory leak in drm_dev_init() drm_dev_init() will add drm_dev_init_release() as a callback. When drmm_add_action() failed, the release function won't be added. As the result, the ref cnt added by device_get() in drm_dev_init() won't be put by drm_dev_init_release(), which leads to the memleak.

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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mmc: vub300: fix return value check of mmc_add_host() mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value, the memory that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() will be leaked and it will lead a kernel crash because of deleting not added device in the remove path. So fix this by checking the return value and goto error path which will call mmc_free_host(), besides, the timer added before mmc_add_host() needs be del. And this patch fixes another missing call mmc_free_host() if usb_control_msg() fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mISDN: fix possible memory leak in mISDN_dsp_element_register() Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically, use put_device() to give up the reference, so that the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount is 0. The 'entry' is going to be freed in mISDN_dsp_dev_release(), so the kfree() is removed. list_del() is called in mISDN_dsp_dev_release(), so it need be initialized.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl: Fix a memory leak in an error handling path A bitmap_zalloc() must be balanced by a corresponding bitmap_free() in the error handling path of afu_allocate_irqs().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/rxe: Fix mr leak in RESPST_ERR_RNR rxe_recheck_mr() will increase mr's ref_cnt, so we should call rxe_put(mr) to drop mr's ref_cnt in RESPST_ERR_RNR to avoid below warning: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 4156 at drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_pool.c:259 __rxe_cleanup+0x1df/0x240 [rdma_rxe] ...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: target: tcm_loop: Fix possible name leak in tcm_loop_setup_hba_bus() If device_register() fails in tcm_loop_setup_hba_bus(), the name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment of device_register() says, it should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(). The 'tl_hba' will be freed in tcm_loop_release_adapter(), so it don't need goto error label in this case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: jffs2: fix memory leak in jffs2_do_fill_super If jffs2_iget() or d_make_root() in jffs2_do_fill_super() returns an error, we can observe the following kmemleak report: -------------------------------------------- unreferenced object 0xffff888105a65340 (size 64): comm "mount", pid 710, jiffies 4302851558 (age 58.239s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 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 00 ................ backtrace: [<ffffffff859c45e5>] kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x475/0x8a0 [<ffffffff86160146>] jffs2_sum_init+0x96/0x1a0 [<ffffffff86140e25>] jffs2_do_mount_fs+0x745/0x2120 [<ffffffff86149fec>] jffs2_do_fill_super+0x35c/0x810 [<ffffffff8614aae9>] jffs2_fill_super+0x2b9/0x3b0 [...] unreferenced object 0xffff8881bd7f0000 (size 65536): comm "mount", pid 710, jiffies 4302851558 (age 58.239s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb ................ bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb ................ backtrace: [<ffffffff858579ba>] kmalloc_order+0xda/0x110 [<ffffffff85857a11>] kmalloc_order_trace+0x21/0x130 [<ffffffff859c2ed1>] __kmalloc+0x711/0x8a0 [<ffffffff86160189>] jffs2_sum_init+0xd9/0x1a0 [<ffffffff86140e25>] jffs2_do_mount_fs+0x745/0x2120 [<ffffffff86149fec>] jffs2_do_fill_super+0x35c/0x810 [<ffffffff8614aae9>] jffs2_fill_super+0x2b9/0x3b0 [...] -------------------------------------------- This is because the resources allocated in jffs2_sum_init() are not released.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bootmem: remove the vmemmap pages from kmemleak in put_page_bootmem The vmemmap pages is marked by kmemleak when allocated from memblock. Remove it from kmemleak when freeing the page. Otherwise, when we reuse the page, kmemleak may report such an error and then stop working. kmemleak: Cannot insert 0xffff98fb6eab3d40 into the object search tree (overlaps existing) kmemleak: Kernel memory leak detector disabled kmemleak: Object 0xffff98fb6be00000 (size 335544320): kmemleak: comm "swapper", pid 0, jiffies 4294892296 kmemleak: min_count = 0 kmemleak: count = 0 kmemleak: flags = 0x1 kmemleak: checksum = 0 kmemleak: backtrace:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio_net: fix memory leak inside XPD_TX with mergeable When we call xdp_convert_buff_to_frame() to get xdpf, if it returns NULL, we should check if xdp_page was allocated by xdp_linearize_page(). If it is newly allocated, it should be freed here alone. Just like any other "goto err_xdp".

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: x86/mm/64: define ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK and arch_sync_kernel_mappings() Define ARCH_PAGE_TABLE_SYNC_MASK and arch_sync_kernel_mappings() to ensure page tables are properly synchronized when calling p*d_populate_kernel(). For 5-level paging, synchronization is performed via pgd_populate_kernel(). In 4-level paging, pgd_populate() is a no-op, so synchronization is instead performed at the P4D level via p4d_populate_kernel(). This fixes intermittent boot failures on systems using 4-level paging and a large amount of persistent memory: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffe70000000034 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:__init_single_page+0x9/0x6d Call Trace: <TASK> __init_zone_device_page+0x17/0x5d memmap_init_zone_device+0x154/0x1bb pagemap_range+0x2e0/0x40f memremap_pages+0x10b/0x2f0 devm_memremap_pages+0x1e/0x60 dev_dax_probe+0xce/0x2ec [device_dax] dax_bus_probe+0x6d/0xc9 [... snip ...] </TASK> It also fixes a crash in vmemmap_set_pmd() caused by accessing vmemmap before sync_global_pgds() [1]: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffeb3ff1200000 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI Tainted: [W]=WARN RIP: 0010:vmemmap_set_pmd+0xff/0x230 <TASK> vmemmap_populate_hugepages+0x176/0x180 vmemmap_populate+0x34/0x80 __populate_section_memmap+0x41/0x90 sparse_add_section+0x121/0x3e0 __add_pages+0xba/0x150 add_pages+0x1d/0x70 memremap_pages+0x3dc/0x810 devm_memremap_pages+0x1c/0x60 xe_devm_add+0x8b/0x100 [xe] xe_tile_init_noalloc+0x6a/0x70 [xe] xe_device_probe+0x48c/0x740 [xe] [... snip ...]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: selinux: fix memleak in security_read_state_kernel() In this function, it directly returns the result of __security_read_policy without freeing the allocated memory in *data, cause memory leak issue, so free the memory if __security_read_policy failed. [PM: subject line tweak]

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: drivers: net: qlcnic: Fix potential memory leak in qlcnic_sriov_init() If vp alloc failed in qlcnic_sriov_init(), all previously allocated vp needs to be freed.

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: io_uring: fix multishot accept request leaks Having REQ_F_POLLED set doesn't guarantee that the request is executed as a multishot from the polling path. Fortunately for us, if the code thinks it's multishot issue when it's not, it can only ask to skip completion so leaking the request. Use issue_flags to mark multipoll issues.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/reclaim: fix potential memory leak in damon_reclaim_init() damon_reclaim_init() allocates a memory chunk for ctx with damon_new_ctx(). When damon_select_ops() fails, ctx is not released, which will lead to a memory leak. We should release the ctx with damon_destroy_ctx() when damon_select_ops() fails to fix the memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: st21nfca: fix memory leaks in EVT_TRANSACTION handling Error paths do not free previously allocated memory. Add devm_kfree() to those failure paths.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing/histograms: Fix memory leak problem This reverts commit 46bbe5c671e06f070428b9be142cc4ee5cedebac. As commit 46bbe5c671e0 ("tracing: fix double free") said, the "double free" problem reported by clang static analyzer is: > In parse_var_defs() if there is a problem allocating > var_defs.expr, the earlier var_defs.name is freed. > This free is duplicated by free_var_defs() which frees > the rest of the list. However, if there is a problem allocating N-th var_defs.expr: + in parse_var_defs(), the freed 'earlier var_defs.name' is actually the N-th var_defs.name; + then in free_var_defs(), the names from 0th to (N-1)-th are freed; IF ALLOCATING PROBLEM HAPPENED HERE!!! -+ \ | 0th 1th (N-1)-th N-th V +-------------+-------------+-----+-------------+----------- var_defs: | name | expr | name | expr | ... | name | expr | name | /// +-------------+-------------+-----+-------------+----------- These two frees don't act on same name, so there was no "double free" problem before. Conversely, after that commit, we get a "memory leak" problem because the above "N-th var_defs.name" is not freed. If enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK and inject a fault at where the N-th var_defs.expr allocated, then execute on shell like: $ echo 'hist:key=call_site:val=$v1,$v2:v1=bytes_req,v2=bytes_alloc' > \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger Then kmemleak reports: unreferenced object 0xffff8fb100ef3518 (size 8): comm "bash", pid 196, jiffies 4295681690 (age 28.538s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 76 31 00 00 b1 8f ff ff v1...... backtrace: [<0000000038fe4895>] kstrdup+0x2d/0x60 [<00000000c99c049a>] event_hist_trigger_parse+0x206f/0x20e0 [<00000000ae70d2cc>] trigger_process_regex+0xc0/0x110 [<0000000066737a4c>] event_trigger_write+0x75/0xd0 [<000000007341e40c>] vfs_write+0xbb/0x2a0 [<0000000087fde4c2>] ksys_write+0x59/0xd0 [<00000000581e9cdf>] do_syscall_64+0x3a/0x80 [<00000000cf3b065c>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (coretemp) fix pci device refcount leak in nv1a_ram_new() As comment of pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() says, it returns a pci device with refcount increment, when finish using it, the caller must decrement the reference count by calling pci_dev_put(). So call it after using to avoid refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: pm8001: Fix memory leak in pm8001_chip_fw_flash_update_req() In pm8001_chip_fw_flash_update_build(), if pm8001_chip_fw_flash_update_build() fails, the struct fw_control_ex allocated must be freed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ppp: fix memory leak in pad_compress_skb If alloc_skb() fails in pad_compress_skb(), it returns NULL without releasing the old skb. The caller does: skb = pad_compress_skb(ppp, skb); if (!skb) goto drop; drop: kfree_skb(skb); When pad_compress_skb() returns NULL, the reference to the old skb is lost and kfree_skb(skb) ends up doing nothing, leading to a memory leak. Align pad_compress_skb() semantics with realloc(): only free the old skb if allocation and compression succeed. At the call site, use the new_skb variable so the original skb is not lost when pad_compress_skb() fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86: Forcibly leave nested virt when SMM state is toggled Forcibly leave nested virtualization operation if userspace toggles SMM state via KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS or KVM_SYNC_X86_EVENTS. If userspace forces the vCPU out of SMM while it's post-VMXON and then injects an SMI, vmx_enter_smm() will overwrite vmx->nested.smm.vmxon and end up with both vmxon=false and smm.vmxon=false, but all other nVMX state allocated. Don't attempt to gracefully handle the transition as (a) most transitions are nonsencial, e.g. forcing SMM while L2 is running, (b) there isn't sufficient information to handle all transitions, e.g. SVM wants access to the SMRAM save state, and (c) KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS must precede KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE during state restore as the latter disallows putting the vCPU into L2 if SMM is active, and disallows tagging the vCPU as being post-VMXON in SMM if SMM is not active. Abuse of KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS manifests as a WARN and memory leak in nVMX due to failure to free vmcs01's shadow VMCS, but the bug goes far beyond just a memory leak, e.g. toggling SMM on while L2 is active puts the vCPU in an architecturally impossible state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kernel/resource: fix kfree() of bootmem memory again Since commit ebff7d8f270d ("mem hotunplug: fix kfree() of bootmem memory"), we could get a resource allocated during boot via alloc_resource(). And it's required to release the resource using free_resource(). Howerver, many people use kfree directly which will result in kernel BUG. In order to fix this without fixing every call site, just leak a couple of bytes in such corner case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rtw88: fix memory overrun and memory leak during hw_scan Previously we allocated less memory than actual required, overwrite to the buffer causes the mm module to complaint and raise access violation faults. Along with potential memory leaks when returned early. Fix these by passing the correct size and proper deinit flow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix smbdirect_recv_io leak in smbd_negotiate() error path During tests of another unrelated patch I was able to trigger this error: Objects remaining on __kmem_cache_shutdown()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_tables: fix percpu memory leak at nf_tables_addchain() It seems to me that percpu memory for chain stats started leaking since commit 3bc158f8d0330f0a ("netfilter: nf_tables: map basechain priority to hardware priority") when nft_chain_offload_priority() returned an error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vdpa: ifcvf: Do proper cleanup if IFCVF init fails ifcvf_mgmt_dev leaks memory if it is not freed before returning.
