In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu: Fix potential memory leak in iopf_queue_remove_device() The iopf_queue_remove_device() helper removes a device from the per-iommu iopf queue when PRI is disabled on the device. It responds to all outstanding iopf's with an IOMMU_PAGE_RESP_INVALID code and detaches the device from the queue. However, it fails to release the group structure that represents a group of iopf's awaiting for a response after responding to the hardware. This can cause a memory leak if iopf_queue_remove_device() is called with pending iopf's. Fix it by calling iopf_free_group() after the iopf group is responded.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: fix leak of kobject name for sub-group space_info When create_space_info_sub_group() allocates elements of space_info->sub_group[], kobject_init_and_add() is called for each element via btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type(). However, when check_removing_space_info() frees these elements, it does not call btrfs_sysfs_remove_space_info() on them. As a result, kobject_put() is not called and the associated kobj->name objects are leaked. This memory leak is reproduced by running the blktests test case zbd/009 on kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK. The kmemleak feature reports the following error: unreferenced object 0xffff888112877d40 (size 16): comm "mount", pid 1244, jiffies 4294996972 hex dump (first 16 bytes): 64 61 74 61 2d 72 65 6c 6f 63 00 c4 c6 a7 cb 7f data-reloc...... backtrace (crc 53ffde4d): __kmalloc_node_track_caller_noprof+0x619/0x870 kstrdup+0x42/0xc0 kobject_set_name_vargs+0x44/0x110 kobject_init_and_add+0xcf/0x150 btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type+0xfc/0x210 [btrfs] create_space_info_sub_group.constprop.0+0xfb/0x1b0 [btrfs] create_space_info+0x211/0x320 [btrfs] btrfs_init_space_info+0x15a/0x1b0 [btrfs] open_ctree+0x33c7/0x4a50 [btrfs] btrfs_get_tree.cold+0x9f/0x1ee [btrfs] vfs_get_tree+0x87/0x2f0 vfs_cmd_create+0xbd/0x280 __do_sys_fsconfig+0x3df/0x990 do_syscall_64+0x136/0x1540 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e To avoid the leak, call btrfs_sysfs_remove_space_info() instead of kfree() for the elements.
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: netmem: prevent TX of unreadable skbs Currently on stable trees we have support for netmem/devmem RX but not TX. It is not safe to forward/redirect an RX unreadable netmem packet into the device's TX path, as the device may call dma-mapping APIs on dma addrs that should not be passed to it. Fix this by preventing the xmit of unreadable skbs. Tested by configuring tc redirect: sudo tc qdisc add dev eth1 ingress sudo tc filter add dev eth1 ingress protocol ip prio 1 flower ip_proto \ tcp src_ip 192.168.1.12 action mirred egress redirect dev eth1 Before, I see unreadable skbs in the driver's TX path passed to dma mapping APIs. After, I don't see unreadable skbs in the driver's TX path passed to dma mapping APIs.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udp: Fix memory accounting leak. Matt Dowling reported a weird UDP memory usage issue. Under normal operation, the UDP memory usage reported in /proc/net/sockstat remains close to zero. However, it occasionally spiked to 524,288 pages and never dropped. Moreover, the value doubled when the application was terminated. Finally, it caused intermittent packet drops. We can reproduce the issue with the script below [0]: 1. /proc/net/sockstat reports 0 pages # cat /proc/net/sockstat | grep UDP: UDP: inuse 1 mem 0 2. Run the script till the report reaches 524,288 # python3 test.py & sleep 5 # cat /proc/net/sockstat | grep UDP: UDP: inuse 3 mem 524288 <-- (INT_MAX + 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT 3. Kill the socket and confirm the number never drops # pkill python3 && sleep 5 # cat /proc/net/sockstat | grep UDP: UDP: inuse 1 mem 524288 4. (necessary since v6.0) Trigger proto_memory_pcpu_drain() # python3 test.py & sleep 1 && pkill python3 5. The number doubles # cat /proc/net/sockstat | grep UDP: UDP: inuse 1 mem 1048577 The application set INT_MAX to SO_RCVBUF, which triggered an integer overflow in udp_rmem_release(). When a socket is close()d, udp_destruct_common() purges its receive queue and sums up skb->truesize in the queue. This total is calculated and stored in a local unsigned integer variable. The total size is then passed to udp_rmem_release() to adjust memory accounting. However, because the function takes a signed integer argument, the total size can wrap around, causing an overflow. Then, the released amount is calculated as follows: 1) Add size to sk->sk_forward_alloc. 2) Round down sk->sk_forward_alloc to the nearest lower multiple of PAGE_SIZE and assign it to amount. 3) Subtract amount from sk->sk_forward_alloc. 4) Pass amount >> PAGE_SHIFT to __sk_mem_reduce_allocated(). When the issue occurred, the total in udp_destruct_common() was 2147484480 (INT_MAX + 833), which was cast to -2147482816 in udp_rmem_release(). At 1) sk->sk_forward_alloc is changed from 3264 to -2147479552, and 2) sets -2147479552 to amount. 3) reverts the wraparound, so we don't see a warning in inet_sock_destruct(). However, udp_memory_allocated ends up doubling at 4). Since commit 3cd3399dd7a8 ("net: implement per-cpu reserves for memory_allocated"), memory usage no longer doubles immediately after a socket is close()d because __sk_mem_reduce_allocated() caches the amount in udp_memory_per_cpu_fw_alloc. However, the next time a UDP socket receives a packet, the subtraction takes effect, causing UDP memory usage to double. This issue makes further memory allocation fail once the socket's sk->sk_rmem_alloc exceeds net.ipv4.udp_rmem_min, resulting in packet drops. To prevent this issue, let's use unsigned int for the calculation and call sk_forward_alloc_add() only once for the small delta. Note that first_packet_length() also potentially has the same problem. [0]: from socket import * SO_RCVBUFFORCE = 33 INT_MAX = (2 ** 31) - 1 s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM) s.bind(('', 0)) s.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUFFORCE, INT_MAX) c = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM) c.connect(s.getsockname()) data = b'a' * 100 while True: c.send(data)
A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol. This issue may occur when a user starts a malicious networking service and someone connects to this service. This could allow a local user to starve resources, causing a denial of service.
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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/mce: use is_copy_from_user() to determine copy-from-user context Patch series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling", v4. ## 1. What am I trying to do: This patchset resolves two critical regressions related to memory failure handling that have appeared in the upstream kernel since version 5.17, as compared to 5.10 LTS. - copyin case: poison found in user page while kernel copying from user space - instr case: poison found while instruction fetching in user space ## 2. What is the expected outcome and why - For copyin case: Kernel can recover from poison found where kernel is doing get_user() or copy_from_user() if those places get an error return and the kernel return -EFAULT to the process instead of crashing. More specifily, MCE handler checks the fixup handler type to decide whether an in kernel #MC can be recovered. When EX_TYPE_UACCESS is found, the PC jumps to recovery code specified in _ASM_EXTABLE_FAULT() and return a -EFAULT to user space. - For instr case: If a poison found while instruction fetching in user space, full recovery is possible. User process takes #PF, Linux allocates a new page and fills by reading from storage. ## 3. What actually happens and why - For copyin case: kernel panic since v5.17 Commit 4c132d1d844a ("x86/futex: Remove .fixup usage") introduced a new extable fixup type, EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG, and later patches updated the extable fixup type for copy-from-user operations, changing it from EX_TYPE_UACCESS to EX_TYPE_EFAULT_REG. It breaks previous EX_TYPE_UACCESS handling when posion found in get_user() or copy_from_user(). - For instr case: user process is killed by a SIGBUS signal due to #CMCI and #MCE race When an uncorrected memory error is consumed there is a race between the CMCI from the memory controller reporting an uncorrected error with a UCNA signature, and the core reporting and SRAR signature machine check when the data is about to be consumed. ### Background: why *UN*corrected errors tied to *C*MCI in Intel platform [1] Prior to Icelake memory controllers reported patrol scrub events that detected a previously unseen uncorrected error in memory by signaling a broadcast machine check with an SRAO (Software Recoverable Action Optional) signature in the machine check bank. This was overkill because it's not an urgent problem that no core is on the verge of consuming that bad data. It's also found that multi SRAO UCE may cause nested MCE interrupts and finally become an IERR. Hence, Intel downgrades the machine check bank signature of patrol scrub from SRAO to UCNA (Uncorrected, No Action required), and signal changed to #CMCI. Just to add to the confusion, Linux does take an action (in uc_decode_notifier()) to try to offline the page despite the UC*NA* signature name. ### Background: why #CMCI and #MCE race when poison is consuming in Intel platform [1] Having decided that CMCI/UCNA is the best action for patrol scrub errors, the memory controller uses it for reads too. But the memory controller is executing asynchronously from the core, and can't tell the difference between a "real" read and a speculative read. So it will do CMCI/UCNA if an error is found in any read. Thus: 1) Core is clever and thinks address A is needed soon, issues a speculative read. 2) Core finds it is going to use address A soon after sending the read request 3) The CMCI from the memory controller is in a race with MCE from the core that will soon try to retire the load from address A. Quite often (because speculation has got better) the CMCI from the memory controller is delivered before the core is committed to the instruction reading address A, so the interrupt is taken, and Linux offlines the page (marking it as poison). ## Why user process is killed for instr case Commit 046545a661af ("mm/hwpoison: fix error page recovered but reported "not ---truncated---
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: staging: vt6655: fix some erroneous memory clean-up loops In some initialization functions of this driver, memory is allocated with 'i' acting as an index variable and increasing from 0. The commit in "Fixes" introduces some clean-up codes in case of allocation failure, which free memory in reverse order with 'i' decreasing to 0. However, there are some problems: - The case i=0 is left out. Thus memory is leaked. - In case memory allocation fails right from the start, the memory freeing loops will start with i=-1 and invalid memory locations will be accessed. One of these loops has been fixed in commit c8ff91535880 ("staging: vt6655: fix potential memory leak"). Fix the remaining erroneous loops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: xhci-mtk: fix leakage of shared hcd when fail to set wakeup irq Can not set the @shared_hcd to NULL before decrease the usage count by usb_put_hcd(), this will cause the shared hcd not released.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8723bs: fix a potential memory leak in rtw_init_cmd_priv() In rtw_init_cmd_priv(), if `pcmdpriv->rsp_allocated_buf` is allocated in failure, then `pcmdpriv->cmd_allocated_buf` will be not properly released. Besides, considering there are only two error paths and the first one can directly return, so we do not need implicitly jump to the `exit` tag to execute the error handler. So this patch added `kfree(pcmdpriv->cmd_allocated_buf);` on the error path to release the resource and simplified the return logic of rtw_init_cmd_priv(). As there is no proper device to test with, no runtime testing was performed.
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: orangefs: Fix kmemleak in orangefs_{kernel,client}_debug_init() When insert and remove the orangefs module, there are memory leaked as below: unreferenced object 0xffff88816b0cc000 (size 2048): comm "insmod", pid 783, jiffies 4294813439 (age 65.512s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 6e 6f 6e 65 0a 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 none............ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<0000000031ab7788>] kmalloc_trace+0x27/0xa0 [<000000005b405fee>] orangefs_debugfs_init.cold+0xaf/0x17f [<00000000e5a0085b>] 0xffffffffa02780f9 [<000000004232d9f7>] do_one_initcall+0x87/0x2a0 [<0000000054f22384>] do_init_module+0xdf/0x320 [<000000003263bdea>] load_module+0x2f98/0x3330 [<0000000052cd4153>] __do_sys_finit_module+0x113/0x1b0 [<00000000250ae02b>] do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 [<00000000f11c03c7>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 Use the golbal variable as the buffer rather than dynamic allocate to slove the problem.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/smmuv3: Fix hotplug callback leak in arm_smmu_pmu_init() arm_smmu_pmu_init() won't remove the callback added by cpuhp_setup_state_multi() when platform_driver_register() failed. Remove the callback by cpuhp_remove_multi_state() in fail path. Similar to the handling of arm_ccn_init() in commit 26242b330093 ("bus: arm-ccn: Prevent hotplug callback leak")
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: clk: samsung: Fix memory leak in _samsung_clk_register_pll() If clk_register() fails, @pll->rate_table may have allocated memory by kmemdup(), so it needs to be freed, otherwise will cause memory leak issue, this patch fixes it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI: dwc: Deallocate EPC memory on dw_pcie_ep_init() errors If dw_pcie_ep_init() fails to perform any action after the EPC memory is initialized and the MSI memory region is allocated, the latter parts won't be undone thus causing a memory leak. Add a cleanup-on-error path to fix these leaks. [bhelgaas: commit log]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PNP: fix name memory leak in pnp_alloc_dev() After commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically, move dev_set_name() after pnp_add_id() to avoid memory leak.
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: 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: powerpc/52xx: Fix a resource leak in an error handling path The error handling path of mpc52xx_lpbfifo_probe() has a request_irq() that is not balanced by a corresponding free_irq(). Add the missing call, as already done in the remove function.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: mxm-wmi: fix memleak in mxm_wmi_call_mx[ds|mx]() The ACPI buffer memory (out.pointer) returned by wmi_evaluate_method() is not freed after the call, so it leads to memory leak. The method results in ACPI buffer is not used, so just pass NULL to wmi_evaluate_method() which fixes the memory leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cifs: Fix xid leak in cifs_flock() If not flock, before return -ENOLCK, should free the xid, otherwise, the xid will be leaked.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix leaking uninitialized memory in fast-commit journal When space at the end of fast-commit journal blocks is unused, make sure to zero it out so that uninitialized memory is not leaked to disk.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix kmemleak warning for percpu hashmap Vlad Poenaru reported the following kmemleak issue: unreferenced object 0x606fd7c44ac8 (size 32): backtrace (crc 0): pcpu_alloc_noprof+0x730/0xeb0 bpf_map_alloc_percpu+0x69/0xc0 prealloc_init+0x9d/0x1b0 htab_map_alloc+0x363/0x510 map_create+0x215/0x3a0 __sys_bpf+0x16b/0x3e0 __x64_sys_bpf+0x18/0x20 do_syscall_64+0x7b/0x150 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53 Further investigation shows the reason is due to not 8-byte aligned store of percpu pointer in htab_elem_set_ptr(): *(void __percpu **)(l->key + key_size) = pptr; Note that the whole htab_elem alignment is 8 (for x86_64). If the key_size is 4, that means pptr is stored in a location which is 4 byte aligned but not 8 byte aligned. In mm/kmemleak.c, scan_block() scans the memory based on 8 byte stride, so it won't detect above pptr, hence reporting the memory leak. In htab_map_alloc(), we already have htab->elem_size = sizeof(struct htab_elem) + round_up(htab->map.key_size, 8); if (percpu) htab->elem_size += sizeof(void *); else htab->elem_size += round_up(htab->map.value_size, 8); So storing pptr with 8-byte alignment won't cause any problem and can fix kmemleak too. The issue can be reproduced with bpf selftest as well: 1. Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK config 2. Add a getchar() before skel destroy in test_hash_map() in prog_tests/for_each.c. The purpose is to keep map available so kmemleak can be detected. 3. run './test_progs -t for_each/hash_map &' and a kmemleak should be reported.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: ac97: fix possible memory leak in snd_ac97_dev_register() If device_register() fails in snd_ac97_dev_register(), it should call put_device() to give up reference, or the name allocated in dev_set_name() is leaked.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: tw686x: Fix memory leak in tw686x_video_init video_device_alloc() allocates memory for vdev, when video_register_device() fails, it doesn't release the memory and leads to memory leak, call video_device_release() to fix this.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tpm: tpm_crb: Add the missed acpi_put_table() to fix memory leak In crb_acpi_add(), we get the TPM2 table to retrieve information like start method, and then assign them to the priv data, so the TPM2 table is not used after the init, should be freed, call acpi_put_table() to fix the memory leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vdpasim: fix memory leak when freeing IOTLBs After commit bda324fd037a ("vdpasim: control virtqueue support"), vdpasim->iommu became an array of IOTLB, so we should clean the mappings of each free one by one instead of just deleting the ranges in the first IOTLB which may leak maps.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: aoa: i2sbus: fix possible memory leak in i2sbus_add_dev() dev_set_name() in soundbus_add_one() allocates memory for name, it need be freed when of_device_register() fails, call soundbus_dev_put() 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. And other resources are also freed in i2sbus_release_dev(), so it can return 0 directly.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: fbcon: release buffer when fbcon_do_set_font() failed syzbot is reporting memory leak at fbcon_do_set_font() [1], for commit a5a923038d70 ("fbdev: fbcon: Properly revert changes when vc_resize() failed") missed that the buffer might be newly allocated by fbcon_set_font().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sunrpc: fix potential memory leaks in rpc_sysfs_xprt_state_change() The issue happens on some error handling paths. When the function fails to grab the object `xprt`, it simply returns 0, forgetting to decrease the reference count of another object `xps`, which is increased by rpc_sysfs_xprt_kobj_get_xprt_switch(), causing refcount leaks. Also, the function forgets to check whether `xps` is valid before using it, which may result in NULL-dereferencing issues. Fix it by adding proper error handling code when either `xprt` or `xps` is NULL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb-audio: Fix potential memory leaks When the driver hits -ENOMEM at allocating a URB or a buffer, it aborts and goes to the error path that releases the all previously allocated resources. However, when -ENOMEM hits at the middle of the sync EP URB allocation loop, the partially allocated URBs might be left without released, because ep->nurbs is still zero at that point. Fix it by setting ep->nurbs at first, so that the error handler loops over the full URB list.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cifs: Fix memory leak when build ntlmssp negotiate blob failed There is a memory leak when mount cifs: unreferenced object 0xffff888166059600 (size 448): comm "mount.cifs", pid 51391, jiffies 4295596373 (age 330.596s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): fe 53 4d 42 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 82 00 .SMB@........... 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<0000000060609a61>] mempool_alloc+0xe1/0x260 [<00000000adfa6c63>] cifs_small_buf_get+0x24/0x60 [<00000000ebb404c7>] __smb2_plain_req_init+0x32/0x460 [<00000000bcf875b4>] SMB2_sess_alloc_buffer+0xa4/0x3f0 [<00000000753a2987>] SMB2_sess_auth_rawntlmssp_negotiate+0xf5/0x480 [<00000000f0c1f4f9>] SMB2_sess_setup+0x253/0x410 [<00000000a8b83303>] cifs_setup_session+0x18f/0x4c0 [<00000000854bd16d>] cifs_get_smb_ses+0xae7/0x13c0 [<000000006cbc43d9>] mount_get_conns+0x7a/0x730 [<000000005922d816>] cifs_mount+0x103/0xd10 [<00000000e33def3b>] cifs_smb3_do_mount+0x1dd/0xc90 [<0000000078034979>] smb3_get_tree+0x1d5/0x300 [<000000004371f980>] vfs_get_tree+0x41/0xf0 [<00000000b670d8a7>] path_mount+0x9b3/0xdd0 [<000000005e839a7d>] __x64_sys_mount+0x190/0x1d0 [<000000009404c3b9>] do_syscall_64+0x35/0x80 When build ntlmssp negotiate blob failed, the session setup request should be freed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: test_firmware: fix memory leak in test_firmware_init() When misc_register() failed in test_firmware_init(), the memory pointed by test_fw_config->name is not released. The memory leak information is as follows: unreferenced object 0xffff88810a34cb00 (size 32): comm "insmod", pid 7952, jiffies 4294948236 (age 49.060s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 74 65 73 74 2d 66 69 72 6d 77 61 72 65 2e 62 69 test-firmware.bi 6e 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 n............... backtrace: [<ffffffff81b21fcb>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x4b/0xc0 [<ffffffff81affb96>] kstrndup+0x46/0xc0 [<ffffffffa0403a49>] __test_firmware_config_init+0x29/0x380 [test_firmware] [<ffffffffa040f068>] 0xffffffffa040f068 [<ffffffff81002c41>] do_one_initcall+0x141/0x780 [<ffffffff816a72c3>] do_init_module+0x1c3/0x630 [<ffffffff816adb9e>] load_module+0x623e/0x76a0 [<ffffffff816af471>] __do_sys_finit_module+0x181/0x240 [<ffffffff89978f99>] do_syscall_64+0x39/0xb0 [<ffffffff89a0008b>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: genl: fix error path memory leak in policy dumping If construction of the array of policies fails when recording non-first policy we need to unwind. netlink_policy_dump_add_policy() itself also needs fixing as it currently gives up on error without recording the allocated pointer in the pstate pointer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ARC: mm: fix leakage of memory allocated for PTE Since commit d9820ff ("ARC: mm: switch pgtable_t back to struct page *") a memory leakage problem occurs. Memory allocated for page table entries not released during process termination. This issue can be reproduced by a small program that allocates a large amount of memory. After several runs, you'll see that the amount of free memory has reduced and will continue to reduce after each run. All ARC CPUs are effected by this issue. The issue was introduced since the kernel stable release v5.15-rc1. As described in commit d9820ff after switch pgtable_t back to struct page *, a pointer to "struct page" and appropriate functions are used to allocate and free a memory page for PTEs, but the pmd_pgtable macro hasn't changed and returns the direct virtual address from the PMD (PGD) entry. Than this address used as a parameter in the __pte_free() and as a result this function couldn't release memory page allocated for PTEs. Fix this issue by changing the pmd_pgtable macro and returning pointer to struct page.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: i2c: hi846: Fix memory leak in hi846_parse_dt() If any of the checks related to the supported link frequencies fail, then the V4L2 fwnode resources don't get released before returning, which leads to a memleak. Fix this by properly freeing the V4L2 fwnode data in a designated label.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: MIPS: SGI-IP27: Fix platform-device leak in bridge_platform_create() In error case in bridge_platform_create after calling platform_device_add()/platform_device_add_data()/ platform_device_add_resources(), release the failed 'pdev' or it will be leak, call platform_device_put() to fix this problem. Besides, 'pdev' is divided into 'pdev_wd' and 'pdev_bd', use platform_device_unregister() to release sgi_w1 resources when xtalk-bridge registration fails.
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: misc: tifm: fix possible memory leak in tifm_7xx1_switch_media() If device_register() returns error in tifm_7xx1_switch_media(), name of kobject which is allocated in dev_set_name() called in device_add() is leaked. Never directly free @dev after calling device_register(), even if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the reference initialized.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: solo6x10: fix possible memory leak in solo_sysfs_init() If device_register() returns error in solo_sysfs_init(), 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().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc3: core: fix some leaks in probe The dwc3_get_properties() function calls: dwc->usb_psy = power_supply_get_by_name(usb_psy_name); so there is some additional clean up required on these error paths.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wwan_hwsim: fix possible memory leak in wwan_hwsim_dev_new() Inject fault while probing module, if device_register() fails, but the refcount of kobject is not decreased to 0, the name allocated in dev_set_name() is leaked. Fix this by calling put_device(), so that name can be freed in callback function kobject_cleanup(). unreferenced object 0xffff88810152ad20 (size 8): comm "modprobe", pid 252, jiffies 4294849206 (age 22.713s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 68 77 73 69 6d 30 00 ff hwsim0.. backtrace: [<000000009c3504ed>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller+0x44/0x1b0 [<00000000c0228a5e>] kvasprintf+0xb5/0x140 [<00000000cff8c21f>] kvasprintf_const+0x55/0x180 [<0000000055a1e073>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x56/0x150 [<000000000a80b139>] dev_set_name+0xab/0xe0
