Linux disk/nic frontends data leaks T[his CNA information record relates to multiple CVEs; the text explains which aspects/vulnerabilities correspond to which CVE.] Linux Block and Network PV device frontends don't zero memory regions before sharing them with the backend (CVE-2022-26365, CVE-2022-33740). Additionally the granularity of the grant table doesn't allow sharing less than a 4K page, leading to unrelated data residing in the same 4K page as data shared with a backend being accessible by such backend (CVE-2022-33741, CVE-2022-33742).

In the Linux kernel before 5.0, a memory leak exists in sit_init_net() in net/ipv6/sit.c when register_netdev() fails to register sitn->fb_tunnel_dev, which may cause denial of service, aka CID-07f12b26e21a.

drivers/bluetooth/virtio_bt.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.3 has a memory leak (socket buffers have memory allocated but not freed).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: openvswitch: fix leak of nested actions While parsing user-provided actions, openvswitch module may dynamically allocate memory and store pointers in the internal copy of the actions. So this memory has to be freed while destroying the actions. Currently there are only two such actions: ct() and set(). However, there are many actions that can hold nested lists of actions and ovs_nla_free_flow_actions() just jumps over them leaking the memory. For example, removal of the flow with the following actions will lead to a leak of the memory allocated by nf_ct_tmpl_alloc(): actions:clone(ct(commit),0) Non-freed set() action may also leak the 'dst' structure for the tunnel info including device references. Under certain conditions with a high rate of flow rotation that may cause significant memory leak problem (2MB per second in reporter's case). The problem is also hard to mitigate, because the user doesn't have direct control over the datapath flows generated by OVS. Fix that by iterating over all the nested actions and freeing everything that needs to be freed recursively. New build time assertion should protect us from this problem if new actions will be added in the future. Unfortunately, openvswitch module doesn't use NLA_F_NESTED, so all attributes has to be explicitly checked. sample() and clone() actions are mixing extra attributes into the user-provided action list. That prevents some code generalization too.

In the Linux kernel before 5.0.3, a memory leak exits in hsr_dev_finalize() in net/hsr/hsr_device.c if hsr_add_port fails to add a port, which may cause denial of service, aka CID-6caabe7f197d.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.6. There is a memory leak issue when idr_alloc() fails in genl_register_family() in net/netlink/genetlink.c.

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: 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. Use drmm_add_action_or_reset() instead of drmm_add_action() to prevent memleak. unreferenced object 0xffff88810bc0c800 (size 2048): comm "modprobe", pid 8322, jiffies 4305809845 (age 15.292s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): e8 cc c0 0b 81 88 ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 ................ 20 24 3c 0c 81 88 ff ff 18 c8 c0 0b 81 88 ff ff $<............. backtrace: [<000000007251f72d>] __kmalloc+0x4b/0x1c0 [<0000000045f21f26>] platform_device_alloc+0x2d/0xe0 [<000000004452a479>] platform_device_register_full+0x24/0x1c0 [<0000000089f4ea61>] 0xffffffffa0736051 [<00000000235b2441>] do_one_initcall+0x7a/0x380 [<0000000001a4a177>] do_init_module+0x5c/0x230 [<000000002bf8a8e2>] load_module+0x227d/0x2420 [<00000000637d6d0a>] __do_sys_finit_module+0xd5/0x140 [<00000000c99fc324>] do_syscall_64+0x3f/0x90 [<000000004d85aa77>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd

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.
