| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_ll: Fix firmware leak on error path
Smatch reports:
drivers/bluetooth/hci_ll.c:587 download_firmware() warn:
'fw' from request_firmware() not released on lines: 544.
In download_firmware(), if request_firmware() succeeds but the returned
firmware content is invalid (no data or zero size), the function returns
without releasing the firmware, resulting in a resource leak.
Fix this by calling release_firmware() before returning when
request_firmware() succeeded but the firmware content is invalid. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix iloc.bh leak in ext4_fc_replay_inode() error paths
During code review, Joseph found that ext4_fc_replay_inode() calls
ext4_get_fc_inode_loc() to get the inode location, which holds a
reference to iloc.bh that must be released via brelse().
However, several error paths jump to the 'out' label without
releasing iloc.bh:
- ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() failure
- sync_dirty_buffer() failure
- ext4_mark_inode_used() failure
- ext4_iget() failure
Fix this by introducing an 'out_brelse' label placed just before
the existing 'out' label to ensure iloc.bh is always released.
Additionally, make ext4_fc_replay_inode() propagate errors
properly instead of always returning 0. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: Fix cred ref leak in nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit().
syzbot reported memory leak of struct cred. [0]
nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit() passes get_current_cred() to
nfsd_svc(), but put_cred() is not called after that.
The cred is finally passed down to _svc_xprt_create(),
which calls get_cred() with the cred for struct svc_xprt.
The ownership of the refcount by get_current_cred() is not
transferred to anywhere and is just leaked.
nfsd_svc() is also called from write_threads(), but it does
not bump file->f_cred there.
nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit() is called from sendmsg() and
current->cred does not go away.
Let's use current_cred() in nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit().

| OpenSSH server (sshd) 9.1 introduced a double-free vulnerability during options.kex_algorithms handling. This is fixed in OpenSSH 9.2. The double free can be leveraged, by an unauthenticated remote attacker in the default configuration, to jump to any location in the sshd address space. One third-party report states "remote code execution is theoretically possible." |
| png_create_info_struct in png.c in libpng 1.6.36 has a memory leak, as demonstrated by pngcp. NOTE: a third party has stated "I don't think it is libpng's job to free this buffer. |
| A security vulnerability has been detected in GPAC up to 2.4.0. Affected by this issue is the function Media_GetSample of the file src/isomedia/media.c of the component MP4Box. Such manipulation of the argument cat leads to memory leak. The attack can only be performed from a local environment. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The name of the patch is e79c5cbe8b3fed27f4854ec229457d30c96206f1. It is best practice to apply a patch to resolve this issue. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: auth_gss: fix memory leaks in XDR decoding error paths
The gssx_dec_ctx(), gssx_dec_status(), and gssx_dec_name()
functions allocate memory via gssx_dec_buffer(), which calls
kmemdup(). When a subsequent decode operation fails, these
functions return immediately without freeing previously
allocated buffers, causing memory leaks.
The leak in gssx_dec_ctx() is particularly relevant because
the caller (gssp_accept_sec_context_upcall) initializes several
buffer length fields to non-zero values, resulting in memory
allocation:
struct gssx_ctx rctxh = {
.exported_context_token.len = GSSX_max_output_handle_sz,
.mech.len = GSS_OID_MAX_LEN,
.src_name.display_name.len = GSSX_max_princ_sz,
.targ_name.display_name.len = GSSX_max_princ_sz
};
If, for example, gssx_dec_name() succeeds for src_name but
fails for targ_name, the memory allocated for
exported_context_token, mech, and src_name.display_name
remains unreferenced and cannot be reclaimed.
Add error handling with goto-based cleanup to free any
previously allocated buffers before returning an error. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: caam - fix netdev memory leak in dpaa2_caam_probe
When commit 0e1a4d427f58 ("crypto: caam: Unembed net_dev structure in
dpaa2") converted embedded net_device to dynamically allocated pointers,
it added cleanup in dpaa2_dpseci_disable() but missed adding cleanup in
dpaa2_dpseci_free() for error paths.
This causes memory leaks when dpaa2_dpseci_dpio_setup() fails during probe
due to DPIO devices not being ready yet. The kernel's deferred probe
mechanism handles the retry successfully, but the netdevs allocated during
the failed probe attempt are never freed, resulting in kmemleak reports
showing multiple leaked netdev-related allocations all traced back to
dpaa2_caam_probe().
Fix this by preserving the CPU mask of allocated netdevs during setup and
using it for cleanup in dpaa2_dpseci_free(). This approach ensures that
only the CPUs that actually had netdevs allocated will be cleaned up,
avoiding potential issues with CPU hotplug scenarios. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix memory leak in GET_DATA_DIRECT_SYSFS_PATH handler
The UVERBS_HANDLER(MLX5_IB_METHOD_GET_DATA_DIRECT_SYSFS_PATH) function
allocates memory for the device path using kobject_get_path(). If the
length of the device path exceeds the output buffer length, the function
returns -ENOSPC but does not free the allocated memory, resulting in a
memory leak.
Add a kfree() call to the error path to ensure the allocated memory is
properly freed.
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid1: fix memory leak in raid1_run()
raid1_run() calls setup_conf() which registers a thread via
md_register_thread(). If raid1_set_limits() fails, the previously
registered thread is not unregistered, resulting in a memory leak
of the md_thread structure and the thread resource itself.
Add md_unregister_thread() to the error path to properly cleanup
the thread, which aligns with the error handling logic of other paths
in this function.
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Fix memory leak in amdxdna_ubuf_map
The amdxdna_ubuf_map() function allocates memory for sg and
internal sg table structures, but it fails to free them if subsequent
operations (sg_alloc_table_from_pages or dma_map_sgtable) fail. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix chunk map leak in btrfs_map_block() after btrfs_chunk_map_num_copies()
Fix a chunk map leak in btrfs_map_block(): if we return early with -EINVAL,
we're not freeing the chunk map that we've just looked up. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ti: icssg-prueth: Fix memory leak in XDP_DROP for non-zero-copy mode
Page recycling was removed from the XDP_DROP path in emac_run_xdp() to
avoid conflicts with AF_XDP zero-copy mode, which uses xsk_buff_free()
instead.
However, this causes a memory leak when running XDP programs that drop
packets in non-zero-copy mode (standard page pool mode). The pages are
never returned to the page pool, leading to OOM conditions.
Fix this by handling cleanup in the caller, emac_rx_packet().
When emac_run_xdp() returns ICSSG_XDP_CONSUMED for XDP_DROP, the
caller now recycles the page back to the page pool. The zero-copy
path, emac_rx_packet_zc() already handles cleanup correctly with
xsk_buff_free(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: Fix cred ref leak in nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit().
nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() uses get_current_cred() without
put_cred().
As we can see from other callers, svc_xprt_create_from_sa()
does not require the extra refcount.
nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() is always in the process context,
sendmsg(), and current->cred does not go away.
Let's use current_cred() in nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Fix memory leak in xe_vm_madvise_ioctl
When check_bo_args_are_sane() validation fails, jump to the new
free_vmas cleanup label to properly free the allocated resources.
This ensures proper cleanup in this error path.
(cherry picked from commit 29bd06faf727a4b76663e4be0f7d770e2d2a7965) |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix memory leaks in ceph_mdsc_build_path()
Add __putname() calls to error code paths that did not free the "path"
pointer obtained by __getname(). If ownership of this pointer is not
passed to the caller via path_info.path, the function must free it
before returning. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-fc: release admin tagset if init fails
nvme_fabrics creates an NVMe/FC controller in following path:
nvmf_dev_write()
-> nvmf_create_ctrl()
-> nvme_fc_create_ctrl()
-> nvme_fc_init_ctrl()
nvme_fc_init_ctrl() allocates the admin blk-mq resources right after
nvme_add_ctrl() succeeds. If any of the subsequent steps fail (changing
the controller state, scheduling connect work, etc.), we jump to the
fail_ctrl path, which tears down the controller references but never
frees the admin queue/tag set. The leaked blk-mq allocations match the
kmemleak report seen during blktests nvme/fc.
Check ctrl->ctrl.admin_tagset in the fail_ctrl path and call
nvme_remove_admin_tag_set() when it is set so that all admin queue
allocations are reclaimed whenever controller setup aborts. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: qat - Fix ADF_DEV_RESET_SYNC memory leak
Using completion_done to determine whether the caller has gone
away only works after a complete call. Furthermore it's still
possible that the caller has not yet called wait_for_completion,
resulting in another potential UAF.
Fix this by making the caller use cancel_work_sync and then freeing
the memory safely. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Mark target gfn of emulated atomic instruction as dirty
When emulating an atomic access on behalf of the guest, mark the target
gfn dirty if the CMPXCHG by KVM is attempted and doesn't fault. This
fixes a bug where KVM effectively corrupts guest memory during live
migration by writing to guest memory without informing userspace that the
page is dirty.
Marking the page dirty got unintentionally dropped when KVM's emulated
CMPXCHG was converted to do a user access. Before that, KVM explicitly
mapped the guest page into kernel memory, and marked the page dirty during
the unmap phase.
Mark the page dirty even if the CMPXCHG fails, as the old data is written
back on failure, i.e. the page is still written. The value written is
guaranteed to be the same because the operation is atomic, but KVM's ABI
is that all writes are dirty logged regardless of the value written. And
more importantly, that's what KVM did before the buggy commit.
Huge kudos to the folks on the Cc list (and many others), who did all the
actual work of triaging and debugging.

| 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. |
