In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: comedi: runflags cannot determine whether to reclaim chanlist syzbot reported a memory leak [1], because commit 4e1da516debb ("comedi: Add reference counting for Comedi command handling") did not consider the exceptional exit case in do_cmd_ioctl() where runflags is not set. This caused chanlist not to be properly freed by do_become_nonbusy(), as it only frees chanlist when runflags is correctly set. Added a check in do_become_nonbusy() for the case where runflags is not set, to properly free the chanlist memory. [1] BUG: memory leak backtrace (crc 844a0efa): __comedi_get_user_chanlist drivers/comedi/comedi_fops.c:1815 [inline] do_cmd_ioctl.part.0+0x112/0x350 drivers/comedi/comedi_fops.c:1890 do_cmd_ioctl drivers/comedi/comedi_fops.c:1858 [inline]

A memory leak problem was found in ctnetlink_create_conntrack in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c in the Linux Kernel. This issue may allow a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to cause a denial of service (DoS) attack due to a refcount overflow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw88: fix device leak on probe failure Driver core holds a reference to the USB interface and its parent USB device while the interface is bound to a driver and there is no need to take additional references unless the structures are needed after disconnect. This driver takes a reference to the USB device during probe but does not to release it on all probe errors (e.g. when descriptor parsing fails). Drop the redundant device reference to fix the leak, reduce cargo culting, make it easier to spot drivers where an extra reference is needed, and reduce the risk of further memory leaks.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: apple: avoid memory leak in apple_report_fixup() The apple_report_fixup() function was returning a newly kmemdup()-allocated buffer, but never freeing it. The caller of report_fixup() does not take ownership of the returned pointer, but it *is* permitted to return a sub-portion of the input rdesc, whose lifetime is managed by the caller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: magicmouse: avoid memory leak in magicmouse_report_fixup() The magicmouse_report_fixup() function was returning a newly kmemdup()-allocated buffer, but never freeing it. The caller of report_fixup() does not take ownership of the returned pointer, but it *is* permitted to return a sub-portion of the input rdesc, whose lifetime is managed by the caller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfrm: iptfs: fix skb_put() panic on non-linear skb during reassembly In iptfs_reassem_cont(), IP-TFS attempts to append data to the new inner packet 'newskb' that is being reassembled. First a zero-copy approach is tried if it succeeds then newskb becomes non-linear. When a subsequent fragment in the same datagram does not meet the fast-path conditions, a memory copy is performed. It calls skb_put() to append the data and as newskb is non-linear it triggers SKB_LINEAR_ASSERT check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: esp: fix skb leak with espintcp and async crypto When the TX queue for espintcp is full, esp_output_tail_tcp will return an error and not free the skb, because with synchronous crypto, the common xfrm output code will drop the packet for us. With async crypto (esp_output_done), we need to drop the skb when esp_output_tail_tcp returns an error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/sysfs: fix param_ctx leak on damon_sysfs_new_test_ctx() failure Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs: fix memory leak and NULL dereference issues", v4. DAMON_SYSFS can leak memory under allocation failure, and do NULL pointer dereference when a privileged user make wrong sequences of control. Fix those. This patch (of 3): When damon_sysfs_new_test_ctx() fails in damon_sysfs_commit_input(), param_ctx is leaked because the early return skips the cleanup at the out label. Destroy param_ctx before returning.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KEYS: trusted: Fix memory leak on object td Two error return paths are neglecting to free allocated object td, causing a memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: m_can: m_can_read_fifo: fix memory leak in error branch In m_can_read_fifo(), if the second call to m_can_fifo_read() fails, the function jump to the out_fail label and returns without calling m_can_receive_skb(). This means that the skb previously allocated by alloc_can_skb() is not freed. In other terms, this is a memory leak. This patch adds a goto label to destroy the skb if an error occurs. Issue was found with GCC -fanalyzer, please follow the link below for details.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: core: Fix error handling of scsi_host_alloc() After device is initialized via device_initialize(), or its name is set via dev_set_name(), the device has to be freed via put_device(). Otherwise device name will be leaked because it is allocated dynamically in dev_set_name(). Fix the leak by replacing kfree() with put_device(). Since scsi_host_dev_release() properly handles IDA and kthread removal, remove special-casing these from the error handling as well.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: intel_pmc_core: fix memleak on registration failure In case device registration fails during module initialisation, the platform device structure needs to be freed using platform_device_put() to properly free all resources (e.g. the device name).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/zcrypt: fix zcard and zqueue hot-unplug memleak Tests with kvm and a kmemdebug kernel showed, that on hot unplug the zcard and zqueue structs for the unplugged card or queue are not properly freed because of a mismatch with get/put for the embedded kref counter. This fix now adjusts the handling of the kref counters. With init the kref counter starts with 1. This initial value needs to drop to zero with the unregister of the card or queue to trigger the release and free the object.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/hfi1: Fix kernel pointer leak Pointers should be printed with %p or %px rather than cast to 'unsigned long long' and printed with %llx. Change %llx to %p to print the secured pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ice: Avoid crash from unnecessary IDA free In the remove path, there is an attempt to free the aux_idx IDA whether it was allocated or not. This can potentially cause a crash when unloading the driver on systems that do not initialize support for RDMA. But, this free cannot be gated by the status bit for RDMA, since it is allocated if the driver detects support for RDMA at probe time, but the driver can enter into a state where RDMA is not supported after the IDA has been allocated at probe time and this would lead to a memory leak. Initialize aux_idx to an invalid value and check for a valid value when unloading to determine if an IDA free is necessary.

We can fix it by freeing the CPP area when the cache is allocated failed (#2). 792 int nfp_cpp_area_cache_add(struct nfp_cpp *cpp, size_t size) 793 { 794 struct nfp_cpp_area_cache *cache; 795 struct nfp_cpp_area *area; 800 area = nfp_cpp_area_alloc(cpp, NFP_CPP_ID(7, NFP_CPP_ACTION_RW, 0), 801 0, size); // #1: allocates and initializes 802 if (!area) 803 return -ENOMEM; 805 cache = kzalloc(sizeof(*cache), GFP_KERNEL); 806 if (!cache) 807 return -ENOMEM; // #2: missing free 817 return 0; 818 }

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: venus: vdec: fixed possible memory leak issue The venus_helper_alloc_dpb_bufs() implementation allows an early return on an error path when checking the id from ida_alloc_min() which would not release the earlier buffer allocation. Move the direct kfree() from the error checking of dma_alloc_attrs() to the common fail path to ensure that allocations are released on all error paths in this function.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: usbhid: free raw_report buffers in usbhid_stop Free the unsent raw_report buffers when the device is removed. Fixes a memory leak reported by syzbot at: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=7b4fa7cb1a7c2d3342a2a8a6c53371c8c418ab47

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeontx2-af: Fix a memleak bug in rvu_mbox_init() In rvu_mbox_init(), mbox_regions is not freed or passed out under the switch-default region, which could lead to a memory leak. Fix this bug by changing 'return err' to 'goto free_regions'. This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs differential checking to identify inconsistent security operations (e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms that the inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or the callers, so they constitute bugs. Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed the bug. Builds with CONFIG_OCTEONTX2_AF=y show no new warnings, and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: scan: Fix a memory leak in an error handling path If 'acpi_device_set_name()' fails, we must free 'acpi_device_bus_id->bus_id' or there is a (potential) memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: memory: fsl_ifc: fix leak of private memory on probe failure On probe error the driver should free the memory allocated for private structure. Fix this by using resource-managed allocation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: Fix rxrpc_local leak in rxrpc_lookup_peer() Need to call rxrpc_put_local() for peer candidate before kfree() as it holds a ref to rxrpc_local. [DH: v2: Changed to abstract the peer freeing code out into a function]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: accel: kxcjk-1013: Fix possible memory leak in probe and remove When ACPI type is ACPI_SMO8500, the data->dready_trig will not be set, the memory allocated by iio_triggered_buffer_setup() will not be freed, and cause memory leak as follows: unreferenced object 0xffff888009551400 (size 512): comm "i2c-SMO8500-125", pid 911, jiffies 4294911787 (age 83.852s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 e2 e5 c0 ff ff ff ff ........ ....... backtrace: [<0000000041ce75ee>] kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x16d/0x360 [<000000000aeb17b0>] iio_kfifo_allocate+0x41/0x130 [kfifo_buf] [<000000004b40c1f5>] iio_triggered_buffer_setup_ext+0x2c/0x210 [industrialio_triggered_buffer] [<000000004375b15f>] kxcjk1013_probe+0x10c3/0x1d81 [kxcjk_1013] Fix it by remove data->dready_trig condition in probe and remove.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: Fix rxrpc_peer leak in rxrpc_look_up_bundle() Need to call rxrpc_put_peer() for bundle candidate before kfree() as it holds a ref to rxrpc_peer. [DH: v2: Changed to abstract out the bundle freeing code into a function]
