| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: xhci: Fix memory leak in xhci_disable_slot()
xhci_alloc_command() allocates a command structure and, when the
second argument is true, also allocates a completion structure.
Currently, the error handling path in xhci_disable_slot() only frees
the command structure using kfree(), causing the completion structure
to leak.
Use xhci_free_command() instead of kfree(). xhci_free_command() correctly
frees both the command structure and the associated completion structure.
Since the command structure is allocated with zero-initialization,
command->in_ctx is NULL and will not be erroneously freed by
xhci_free_command().
This bug was found using an experimental static analysis tool we are
developing. The tool is based on the LLVM framework and is specifically
designed to detect memory management issues. It is currently under
active development and not yet publicly available, but we plan to
open-source it after our research is published.
The bug was originally detected on v6.13-rc1 using our static analysis
tool, and we have verified that the issue persists in the latest mainline
kernel.
We performed build testing on x86_64 with allyesconfig using GCC=11.4.0.
Since triggering these error paths in xhci_disable_slot() requires specific
hardware conditions or abnormal state, we were unable to construct a test
case to reliably trigger these specific error paths at runtime. |

soc: microchip: mpfs: Fix memory leak in mpfs_sys_controller_probe()
In mpfs_sys_controller_probe(), if of_get_mtd_device_by_node() fails,
the function returns immediately without freeing the allocated memory
for sys_controller, leading to a memory leak.
Fix this by jumping to the out_free label to ensure the memory is
properly freed.
Also, consolidate the error handling for the mbox_request_channel()
failure case to use the same label. |
| 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:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sunrpc: fix cache_request leak in cache_release
When a reader's file descriptor is closed while in the middle of reading
a cache_request (rp->offset != 0), cache_release() decrements the
request's readers count but never checks whether it should free the
request.
In cache_read(), when readers drops to 0 and CACHE_PENDING is clear, the
cache_request is removed from the queue and freed along with its buffer
and cache_head reference. cache_release() lacks this cleanup.
The only other path that frees requests with readers == 0 is
cache_dequeue(), but it runs only when CACHE_PENDING transitions from
set to clear. If that transition already happened while readers was
still non-zero, cache_dequeue() will have skipped the request, and no
subsequent call will clean it up.
Add the same cleanup logic from cache_read() to cache_release(): after
decrementing readers, check if it reached 0 with CACHE_PENDING clear,
and if so, dequeue and free the cache_request. |
| A flaw was found in libssh's handling of key exchange (KEX) processes when a client repeatedly sends incorrect KEX guesses. The library fails to free memory during these rekey operations, which can gradually exhaust system memory. This issue can lead to crashes on the client side, particularly when using libgcrypt, which impacts application stability and availability. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: idxd: Fix leaking event log memory
During the device remove process, the device is reset, causing the
configuration registers to go back to their default state, which is
zero. As the driver is checking if the event log support was enabled
before deallocating, it will fail if a reset happened before.
Do not check if the support was enabled, the check for 'idxd->evl'
being valid (only allocated if the HW capability is available) is
enough. |

Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix memory leak in set_ssp_complete
Fix memory leak in set_ssp_complete() where mgmt_pending_cmd structures
are not freed after being removed from the pending list.
Commit 302a1f674c00 ("Bluetooth: MGMT: Fix possible UAFs") replaced
mgmt_pending_foreach() calls with individual command handling but missed
adding mgmt_pending_free() calls in both error and success paths of
set_ssp_complete(). Other completion functions like set_le_complete()
were fixed correctly in the same commit.
This causes a memory leak of the mgmt_pending_cmd structure and its
associated parameter data for each SSP command that completes.
Add the missing mgmt_pending_free(cmd) calls in both code paths to fix
the memory leak. Also fix the same issue in set_advertising_complete(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: Account property blob allocations to memcg
DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATEPROPBLOB allows userspace to allocate arbitrary-sized
property blobs backed by kernel memory.
Currently, the blob data allocation is not accounted to the allocating
process's memory cgroup, allowing unprivileged users to trigger unbounded
kernel memory consumption and potentially cause system-wide OOM.
Mark the property blob data allocation with GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT so that the memory
is properly charged to the caller's memcg. This ensures existing cgroup
memory limits apply and prevents uncontrolled kernel memory growth without
introducing additional policy or per-file limits. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
most: core: fix leak on early registration failure
A recent commit fixed a resource leak on early registration failures but
for some reason left out the first error path which still leaks the
resources associated with the interface.
Fix up also the first error path so that the interface is always
released on errors. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/hugetlb: restore failed global reservations to subpool
Commit a833a693a490 ("mm: hugetlb: fix incorrect fallback for subpool")
fixed an underflow error for hstate->resv_huge_pages caused by incorrectly
attributing globally requested pages to the subpool's reservation.
Unfortunately, this fix also introduced the opposite problem, which would
leave spool->used_hpages elevated if the globally requested pages could
not be acquired. This is because while a subpool's reserve pages only
accounts for what is requested and allocated from the subpool, its "used"
counter keeps track of what is consumed in total, both from the subpool
and globally. Thus, we need to adjust spool->used_hpages in the other
direction, and make sure that globally requested pages are uncharged from
the subpool's used counter.
Each failed allocation attempt increments the used_hpages counter by how
many pages were requested from the global pool. Ultimately, this renders
the subpool unusable, as used_hpages approaches the max limit.
The issue can be reproduced as follows:
1. Allocate 4 hugetlb pages
2. Create a hugetlb mount with max=4, min=2
3. Consume 2 pages globally
4. Request 3 pages from the subpool (2 from subpool + 1 from global)
4.1 hugepage_subpool_get_pages(spool, 3) succeeds.
used_hpages += 3
4.2 hugetlb_acct_memory(h, 1) fails: no global pages left
used_hpages -= 2
5. Subpool now has used_hpages = 1, despite not being able to
successfully allocate any hugepages. It believes it can now only
allocate 3 more hugepages, not 4.
With each failed allocation attempt incrementing the used counter, the
subpool eventually reaches a point where its used counter equals its
max counter. At that point, any future allocations that try to
allocate hugeTLB pages from the subpool will fail, despite the subpool
not having any of its hugeTLB pages consumed by any user.
Once this happens, there is no way to make the subpool usable again,
since there is no way to decrement the used counter as no process is
really consuming the hugeTLB pages.
The underflow issue that the original commit fixes still remains fixed
as well.
Without this fix, used_hpages would keep on leaking if
hugetlb_acct_memory() fails. |

iio: light: bh1780: fix PM runtime leak on error path
Move pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() before the error check to ensure
the PM runtime reference count is always decremented after
pm_runtime_get_sync(), regardless of whether the read operation
succeeds or fails. |

net: macb: Shuffle the tx ring before enabling tx
Quanyang observed that when using an NFS rootfs on an AMD ZynqMp board,
the rootfs may take an extended time to recover after a suspend.
Upon investigation, it was determined that the issue originates from a
problem in the macb driver.
According to the Zynq UltraScale TRM [1], when transmit is disabled,
the transmit buffer queue pointer resets to point to the address
specified by the transmit buffer queue base address register.
In the current implementation, the code merely resets `queue->tx_head`
and `queue->tx_tail` to '0'. This approach presents several issues:
- Packets already queued in the tx ring are silently lost,
leading to memory leaks since the associated skbs cannot be released.
- Concurrent write access to `queue->tx_head` and `queue->tx_tail` may
occur from `macb_tx_poll()` or `macb_start_xmit()` when these values
are reset to '0'.
- The transmission may become stuck on a packet that has already been sent
out, with its 'TX_USED' bit set, but has not yet been processed. However,
due to the manipulation of 'queue->tx_head' and 'queue->tx_tail',
`macb_tx_poll()` incorrectly assumes there are no packets to handle
because `queue->tx_head == queue->tx_tail`. This issue is only resolved
when a new packet is placed at this position. This is the root cause of
the prolonged recovery time observed for the NFS root filesystem.
To resolve this issue, shuffle the tx ring and tx skb array so that
the first unsent packet is positioned at the start of the tx ring.
Additionally, ensure that updates to `queue->tx_head` and
`queue->tx_tail` are properly protected with the appropriate lock.

net: ncsi: fix skb leak in error paths
Early return paths in NCSI RX and AEN handlers fail to release
the received skb, resulting in a memory leak.
Specifically, ncsi_aen_handler() returns on invalid AEN packets
without consuming the skb. Similarly, ncsi_rcv_rsp() exits early
when failing to resolve the NCSI device, response handler, or
request, leaving the skb unfreed. |

net: mctp: 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 probe failures.
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:
Revert "media: iris: Add sanity check for stop streaming"
This reverts commit ad699fa78b59241c9d71a8cafb51525f3dab04d4.
Revert the check that skipped stop_streaming when the instance was in
IRIS_INST_ERROR, as it caused multiple regressions:
1. Buffers were not returned to vb2 when the instance was already in
error state, triggering warnings in the vb2 core because buffer
completion was skipped.
2. If a session failed early (e.g. unsupported configuration), the
instance transitioned to IRIS_INST_ERROR. When userspace attempted
to stop streaming for cleanup, stop_streaming was skipped due to the
added check, preventing proper teardown and leaving the firmware
in an inconsistent state. |

hwmon: (nct7363) Fix a resource leak in nct7363_present_pwm_fanin
When calling of_parse_phandle_with_args(), the caller is responsible
to call of_node_put() to release the reference of device node.
In nct7363_present_pwm_fanin, it does not release the reference,
causing a resource leak. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: tegra-video: Fix memory leak in __tegra_channel_try_format()
The state object allocated by __v4l2_subdev_state_alloc() must be freed
with __v4l2_subdev_state_free() when it is no longer needed.
In __tegra_channel_try_format(), two error paths return directly after
v4l2_subdev_call() fails, without freeing the allocated 'sd_state'
object. This violates the requirement and causes a memory leak.
Fix this by introducing a cleanup label and using goto statements in the
error paths to ensure that __v4l2_subdev_state_free() is always called
before the function returns. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
remoteproc: imx_rproc: Fix invalid loaded resource table detection
imx_rproc_elf_find_loaded_rsc_table() may incorrectly report a loaded
resource table even when the current firmware does not provide one.
When the device tree contains a "rsc-table" entry, priv->rsc_table is
non-NULL and denotes where a resource table would be located if one is
present in memory. However, when the current firmware has no resource
table, rproc->table_ptr is NULL. The function still returns
priv->rsc_table, and the remoteproc core interprets this as a valid loaded
resource table.
Fix this by returning NULL from imx_rproc_elf_find_loaded_rsc_table() when
there is no resource table for the current firmware (i.e. when
rproc->table_ptr is NULL). This aligns the function's semantics with the
remoteproc core: a loaded resource table is only reported when a valid
table_ptr exists.
With this change, starting firmware without a resource table no longer
triggers a crash. |
