| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: strparser: fix skb_head leak in strp_abort_strp()
When the stream parser is aborted, for example after a message assembly timeout,
it can still hold a reference to a partially assembled message in
strp->skb_head.
That skb is not released in strp_abort_strp(), which leaks the partially
assembled message and can be triggered repeatedly to exhaust memory.
Fix this by freeing strp->skb_head and resetting the parser state in the
abort path. Leave strp_stop() unchanged so final cleanup still happens in
strp_done() after the work and timer have been synchronized. |

drm/vc4: Fix memory leak of BO array in hang state
The hang state's BO array is allocated separately with kzalloc() in
vc4_save_hang_state() but never freed in vc4_free_hang_state(). Add the
missing kfree() for the BO array before freeing the hang state struct. |

nf_tables: nft_dynset: fix possible stateful expression memleak in error path
If cloning the second stateful expression in the element via GFP_ATOMIC
fails, then the first stateful expression remains in place without being
released.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: always drain queued discard work in ext4_mb_release()
While reviewing recent ext4 patch[1], Sashiko raised the following
concern[2]:
> If the filesystem is initially mounted with the discard option,
> deleting files will populate sbi->s_discard_list and queue
> s_discard_work. If it is then remounted with nodiscard, the
> EXT4_MOUNT_DISCARD flag is cleared, but the pending s_discard_work is
> neither cancelled nor flushed.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260319094545.19291-1-qiang.zhang@linux.dev/
[2] https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260319094545.19291-1-qiang.zhang%40linux.dev
The concern was valid, but it had nothing to do with the patch[1].
One of the problems with Sashiko in its current (early) form is that
it will detect pre-existing issues and report it as a problem with the
patch that it is reviewing.
In practice, it would be hard to hit deliberately (unless you are a
malicious syzkaller fuzzer), since it would involve mounting the file
system with -o discard, and then deleting a large number of files,
remounting the file system with -o nodiscard, and then immediately
unmounting the file system before the queued discard work has a change
to drain on its own.
Fix it because it's a real bug, and to avoid Sashiko from raising this
concern when analyzing future patches to mballoc.c. |
| 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. |

IB/mthca: Add missed mthca_unmap_user_db() for mthca_create_srq()
Fix a user triggerable leak on the system call failure path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: mediatek: svs: Fix memory leak in svs_enable_debug_write()
In svs_enable_debug_write(), the buf allocated by memdup_user_nul()
is leaked if kstrtoint() fails.
Fix this by using __free(kfree) to automatically free buf, eliminating
the need for explicit kfree() calls and preventing leaks.
[Angelo: Added missing cleanup.h inclusion] |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: chips-media: wave5: Fix memory leak on codec_info allocation failure
In wave5_vpu_open_enc() and wave5_vpu_open_dec(), a vpu instance is
allocated via kzalloc(). If the subsequent allocation for inst->codec_info
fails, the functions return -ENOMEM without freeing the previously
allocated instance, causing a memory leak.
Fix this by calling kfree() on the instance in this error path to ensure
it is properly released. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: call ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_end_removing() on some error paths
There are two places where ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_end_removing() needs to be
called in order to balance what the corresponding successful call to
ksmbd_vfs_kern_path_start_removing() has done, i.e. drop inode locks and
put the taken references. Otherwise there might be potential deadlocks
and unbalanced locks which are caught like:
BUG: workqueue leaked lock or atomic: kworker/5:21/0x00000000/7596

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal/of: Fix reference leak in thermal_of_cm_lookup()
In thermal_of_cm_lookup(), tr_np is obtained via of_parse_phandle(), but
never released.
Use the __free(device_node) cleanup attribute to automatically release
the node and fix the leak.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rust: pwm: Fix potential memory leak on init error
When initializing a PWM chip using pwmchip_alloc(), the allocated device
owns an initial reference that must be released on all error paths.
If __pinned_init() were to fail, the allocated pwm_chip would currently
leak because the error path returns without calling pwmchip_put(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tpm: tpm_i2c_infineon: Fix locality leak on get_burstcount() failure
get_burstcount() can return -EBUSY on timeout. When this happens, the
function returns directly without releasing the locality that was
acquired at the beginning of tpm_tis_i2c_send().
Use goto out_err to ensure proper cleanup when get_burstcount() fails. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mfd: arizona: Fix regulator resource leak on wm5102_clear_write_sequencer() failure
The wm5102_clear_write_sequencer() helper may return an error
and just return, bypassing the cleanup sequence and causing
regulators to remain enabled, leading to a resource leak.
Change the direct return to jump to the err_reset label to
properly free the resources. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix memleak of newsk in unix_stream_connect().
When prepare_peercred() fails in unix_stream_connect(),
unix_release_sock() is not called for newsk, and the memory
is leaked.
Let's move prepare_peercred() before unix_create1(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: dw: Fix memory leak in dw_i3c_master_i2c_xfers()
The dw_i3c_master_i2c_xfers() function allocates memory for the xfer
structure using dw_i3c_master_alloc_xfer(). If pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
fails, the function returns without freeing the allocated xfer, resulting
in a memory leak.
Add a dw_i3c_master_free_xfer() 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:
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:
tpm: st33zp24: Fix missing cleanup on get_burstcount() error
get_burstcount() can return -EBUSY on timeout. When this happens,
st33zp24_send() returns directly without releasing the locality
acquired earlier.
Use goto out_err to ensure proper cleanup when get_burstcount() fails. |
| 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. |
