| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: fix err_chunk memory leaks in INIT handling
When sctp_verify_init() encounters unrecognized parameters, it allocates an
err_chunk to report them. However, this chunk is leaked in several code
paths:
1. In sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init(), if security_sctp_assoc_request() fails after
sctp_verify_init() has populated err_chunk, the function returns
immediately without freeing it.
2. In sctp_sf_do_unexpected_init(), the same leak occurs on the
security_sctp_assoc_request() failure path.
3. In sctp_sf_do_unexpected_init(), on the success path after copying
unrecognized parameters to the INIT-ACK, the function returns without
freeing err_chunk, unlike sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init() which properly frees
it.
Fix all three leaks by adding sctp_chunk_free(err_chunk) calls before
returning in the error paths and on the success path in
sctp_sf_do_unexpected_init(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: metronomefb: fix potential memory leak in metronomefb_probe()
The memory allocated for pagerefs in fb_deferred_io_init() is not freed
on the error path. Fix it by calling fb_deferred_io_cleanup(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: broadsheetfb: fix potential memory leak in broadsheetfb_probe()
The memory allocated for pagerefs in fb_deferred_io_init() is not freed
on the error path. Fix it by calling fb_deferred_io_cleanup(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: hecubafb: fix potential memory leak in hecubafb_probe()
The memory allocated for pagerefs in fb_deferred_io_init() is not freed
on the error path. Fix it by calling fb_deferred_io_cleanup(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: radeon: fix potential memory leak in radeonfb_pci_register()
The function radeonfb_pci_register() allocates memory for modelist
(by calling radeon_check_modes() which calls fb_add_videomode()).
The memory is appended to info->modelist, but is not freed in subsequent
error paths. Fix this by calling fb_destroy_modelist(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: nvidia: fix potential memory leak in nvidiafb_probe()
In nvidiafb_probe(), the memory allocated for modelist in
nvidia_set_fbinfo() is not freed in the subsequent error paths.
Fix that by calling fb_destroy_modelist(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mfd: sm501: Fix reference leak on failed device registration
When platform_device_register() fails in sm501_register_device(), the
embedded struct device in pdev has already been initialized by
device_initialize(), but the failure path only reports the error and
returns without dropping the device reference for the current platform
device:
sm501_register_device()
-> platform_device_register(pdev)
-> device_initialize(&pdev->dev)
-> setup_pdev_dma_masks(pdev)
-> platform_device_add(pdev)
This leads to a reference leak when platform_device_register() fails.
Fix this by calling platform_device_put() before returning the error.
The issue was identified by a static analysis tool I developed and
confirmed by manual review. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: clean untagged VLAN on netdev registration failure
When an mesh interface is registered, it creates an untagged struct
batadv_meshif_vlan on top of it via the NETDEV_REGISTER notifier. But in
this process, another receiver of this notification can veto the
registration. The netdev registration will be aborted because of this veto.
The register_netdevice() call will try to clean up the net_device using
unregister_netdevice_queue() - which only uses the .priv_destructor to
free private resources. In this situation, .dellink will not be called.
The cleanup of the untagged batadv_meshif_vlan must thefore be done in the
destructor to avoid a leak of this object. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvdimm/btt: Free arenas on btt_init() error paths
The arenas allocated by discover_arenas() or create_arenas() are not
freed on some error paths in btt_init(). This leaks memory when BTT
initialization fails.
Call free_arenas() from the affected error paths to release the
allocations.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvdimm/btt: Free arena sub-allocations on discover_arenas() error path
Memory allocated by btt_freelist_init(), btt_rtt_init(), and
btt_maplocks_init() is not freed on some discover_arenas() error
paths. This leaks memory when arena discovery fails.
Add the missing kfree() calls to release the allocations before
returning an error.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lockd: Plug nlm_file leak when nlm_do_fopen() fails
A client can repeatedly drive nlm_do_fopen() failures by presenting
file handles that the underlying export rejects. After kzalloc_obj()
succeeds in nlm_lookup_file(), the freshly allocated nlm_file is not
yet inserted into nlm_files[]. The nlm_do_fopen() failure path jumps
to out_unlock, which releases nlm_file_mutex and returns without
freeing the allocation, so each failure leaks one nlm_file.
Route the failure through out_free so kfree() runs before the
function returns. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lockd: Plug nlm_file refcount leak on cached nlm_do_fopen() failure
The cached-file path in nlm_lookup_file() reaches the found: label
unconditionally, even when nlm_do_fopen() fails. At that label
*result and file->f_count are updated before the error is returned.
The wrappers nlm3svc_lookup_file() and nlm4svc_lookup_file() then
bail out of their switch without copying *result back to their
caller, so the proc handler's local nlm_file pointer remains NULL
and the cleanup path skips nlm_release_file(). The f_count
increment is never released, and nlm_traverse_files() can no
longer reap the file because its refcount never returns to zero
between requests.
Short-circuit the cached path so neither *result nor f_count is
touched when nlm_do_fopen() fails on a hashed nlm_file. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: imx: fix locked bus on SMBus block-read of 0 (atomic)
SMBus 3.1 6.5.7 allows a Block Read byte count of 0, but the atomic
(polling) path rejects it as -EPROTO. Worse, it returns without a
NACK+STOP: the next receive cycle has already started, so the target
keeps holding SDA and the bus stays stuck until a power cycle for
this i2c controller.
Reading I2DR to obtain the count likewise arms the next byte on the
count > I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX path, which also returned -EPROTO directly
and left the bus held.
Handle both: NACK the in-flight dummy byte (TXAK) and extend msgs->len so
the existing last-byte handling emits STOP; the dummy byte is discarded.
A count of 0 is a valid empty block read; a count above
I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX is still reported as -EPROTO, but only after the bus
has been released.
The interrupt-driven path has the same flaw from a later commit and is
fixed separately, as it carries a different Fixes: tag and stable range. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/gntdev: fix error handling in ioctl
When gntdev_ioctl_map_grant_ref() fails to copy the operation result
back to userspace after successfully adding the mapping to the list,
the error path returns -EFAULT without releasing the reference
acquired by gntdev_alloc_map(). The mapping remains in priv->maps
with a refcount of 1, causing a memory leak and a dangling list
entry.
Additionally, gntdev_add_map() may modify map->index to avoid overlap
with existing mappings. Therefore, the index returned to userspace
must be obtained after gntdev_add_map() completes.
Fix this by holding the mutex across gntdev_add_map(), retrieving
the correct index, and copy_to_user(). If copy_to_user() fails,
remove the mapping from the list and release the reference while
still holding the lock.
Fix these issues by properly handling all error cases. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: hpsa: Fix DMA mapping leak on IOACCEL2 reset path
If phys_disk->in_reset is set, the function returns directly without
undoing the resources acquired for the command. Add the missing error
cleanup by unmapping the IOACCEL2 SG chain block when needed, unmapping
the SCSI command, and dropping the outstanding IOACCEL command count
before returning. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Fix memory leak in lpfc_sli4_driver_resource_setup()
The memory allocated for mboxq using mempool_alloc() is not freed in
some of the early exit error paths. Fix that by moving the
mempool_free() call to an earlier point after last use. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: xen: scsiback: Free the command tag on the TMR submit-failure path
scsiback_device_action() obtains a command tag in
scsiback_get_pend_req() and submits a task-management request with
target_submit_tmr(). When target_submit_tmr() fails it returns < 0 and
scsiback jumps to the err: label, which sends a response but frees
nothing, leaking the tag.
Impact: a pvSCSI guest can leak the command tags of a LUN's session,
stopping the LUN, by issuing VSCSIIF_ACT_SCSI_ABORT or RESET requests
whenever target_submit_tmr() fails.
transport_generic_free_cmd() cannot be used here. By the time
target_submit_tmr() returns an error it has already run
__target_init_cmd() (so se_cmd->cmd_kref is one, not zero), and on its
target_get_sess_cmd() error path it has freed se_cmd->se_tmr_req via
core_tmr_release_req() while leaving SCF_SCSI_TMR_CDB set and the
pointer dangling. Letting the command release run target_free_cmd_mem()
would then double-free se_tmr_req.
Use the same helper, which returns just the tag, on this path too. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnx2x: fix potential memory leak in bnx2x_alloc_mem_bp()
If the allocation of fp[i].tpa_info fails, the error path will not free
the struct bnx2x_fastpath allocated earlier, as it is not linked to the
bp structure yet. Fix that by linking it immediately after allocation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: fix memory leak in ieee80211_register_hw()
If kmemdup() fails while copying supported band structures, the error
path jumps to fail_rate. This skips rate_control_deinitialize() and
leaks the initialized local->rate_ctrl.
Fix this by adding a fail_band label that shares the rate-control cleanup
path before falling through to the remaining teardown.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in
v7.1-rc7.
An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have a
suitable mac80211 device/driver combination to test with, no runtime
testing was able to be performed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
reset: sunxi: fix memory region leak on ioremap failure
In sunxi_reset_init(), when ioremap() fails, the memory region obtained
via request_mem_region() is not released, leading to a resource leak.
Add an err_mem_region label to properly release the memory region before
freeing the data structure. |
