| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: apple: avoid memory leak in apple_report_fixup()
The apple_report_fixup() function was returning a
newly kmemdup()-allocated buffer, but never freeing it.
The caller of report_fixup() does not take ownership of the returned
pointer, but it *is* permitted to return a sub-portion of the input
rdesc, whose lifetime is managed by the caller. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: asus: avoid memory leak in asus_report_fixup()
The asus_report_fixup() function was returning a newly allocated
kmemdup()-allocated buffer, but never freeing it. Switch to
devm_kzalloc() to ensure the memory is managed and freed automatically
when the device is removed.
The caller of report_fixup() does not take ownership of the returned
pointer, but it is permitted to return a pointer whose lifetime is at
least that of the input buffer.
Also fix a harmless out-of-bounds read by copying only the original
descriptor size. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: lan966x: fix page pool leak in error paths
lan966x_fdma_rx_alloc() creates a page pool but does not destroy it if
the subsequent fdma_alloc_coherent() call fails, leaking the pool.
Similarly, lan966x_fdma_init() frees the coherent DMA memory when
lan966x_fdma_tx_alloc() fails but does not destroy the page pool that
was successfully created by lan966x_fdma_rx_alloc(), leaking it.
Add the missing page_pool_destroy() calls in both error paths. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: altera-tse: fix skb leak on DMA mapping error in tse_start_xmit()
When dma_map_single() fails in tse_start_xmit(), the function returns
NETDEV_TX_OK without freeing the skb. Since NETDEV_TX_OK tells the
stack the packet was consumed, the skb is never freed, leaking memory
on every DMA mapping failure.
Add dev_kfree_skb_any() before returning to properly free the skb. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rt2x00usb: fix devres lifetime
USB drivers bind to USB interfaces and any device managed resources
should have their lifetime tied to the interface rather than parent USB
device. This avoids issues like memory leaks when drivers are unbound
without their devices being physically disconnected (e.g. on probe
deferral or configuration changes).
Fix the USB anchor lifetime so that it is released on driver unbind. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm_user: fix info leak in build_report()
struct xfrm_user_report is a __u8 proto field followed by a struct
xfrm_selector which means there is three "empty" bytes of padding, but
the padding is never zeroed before copying to userspace. Fix that up by
zeroing the structure before setting individual member variables. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tls: Purge async_hold in tls_decrypt_async_wait()
The async_hold queue pins encrypted input skbs while
the AEAD engine references their scatterlist data. Once
tls_decrypt_async_wait() returns, every AEAD operation
has completed and the engine no longer references those
skbs, so they can be freed unconditionally.
A subsequent patch adds batch async decryption to
tls_sw_read_sock(), introducing a new call site that
must drain pending AEAD operations and release held
skbs. Move __skb_queue_purge(&ctx->async_hold) into
tls_decrypt_async_wait() so the purge is centralized
and every caller -- recvmsg's drain path, the -EBUSY
fallback in tls_do_decryption(), and the new read_sock
batch path -- releases held skbs on synchronization
without each site managing the purge independently.
This fixes a leak when tls_strp_msg_hold() fails part-way through,
after having added some cloned skbs to the async_hold
queue. tls_decrypt_sg() will then call tls_decrypt_async_wait() to
process all pending decrypts, and drop back to synchronous mode, but
tls_sw_recvmsg() only flushes the async_hold queue when one record has
been processed in "fully-async" mode, which may not be the case here.

nfc: nci: complete pending data exchange on device close
In nci_close_device(), complete any pending data exchange before
closing. The data exchange callback (e.g.
rawsock_data_exchange_complete) holds a socket reference.
NIPA occasionally hits this leak:

nvme: fix admin queue leak on controller reset
When nvme_alloc_admin_tag_set() is called during a controller reset,
a previous admin queue may still exist. Release it properly before
allocating a new one to avoid orphaning the old queue.
This fixes a regression introduced by commit 03b3bcd319b3 ("nvme: fix
admin request_queue lifetime"). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/efi: defer freeing of boot services memory
efi_free_boot_services() frees memory occupied by EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE
and EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA using memblock_free_late().
There are two issue with that: memblock_free_late() should be used for
memory allocated with memblock_alloc() while the memory reserved with
memblock_reserve() should be freed with free_reserved_area().
More acutely, with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=y
efi_free_boot_services() is called before deferred initialization of the
memory map is complete.
Benjamin Herrenschmidt reports that this causes a leak of ~140MB of
RAM on EC2 t3a.nano instances which only have 512MB or RAM.
If the freed memory resides in the areas that memory map for them is
still uninitialized, they won't be actually freed because
memblock_free_late() calls memblock_free_pages() and the latter skips
uninitialized pages.
Using free_reserved_area() at this point is also problematic because
__free_page() accesses the buddy of the freed page and that again might
end up in uninitialized part of the memory map.
Delaying the entire efi_free_boot_services() could be problematic
because in addition to freeing boot services memory it updates
efi.memmap without any synchronization and that's undesirable late in
boot when there is concurrency.
More robust approach is to only defer freeing of the EFI boot services
memory.
Split efi_free_boot_services() in two. First efi_unmap_boot_services()
collects ranges that should be freed into an array then
efi_free_boot_services() later frees them after deferred init is complete. |

drm/xe/reg_sr: Fix leak on xa_store failure
Free the newly allocated entry when xa_store() fails to avoid a memory
leak on the error path.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nci: free skb on nci_transceive early error paths
nci_transceive() takes ownership of the skb passed by the caller,
but the -EPROTO, -EINVAL, and -EBUSY error paths return without
freeing it.
Due to issues clearing NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE fixed by subsequent changes
the nci/nci_dev selftest hits the error path occasionally in NIPA,
and kmemleak detects leaks:

RDMA/irdma: Fix kernel stack leak in irdma_create_user_ah()
struct irdma_create_ah_resp { // 8 bytes, no padding
__u32 ah_id; // offset 0 - SET (uresp.ah_id = ah->sc_ah.ah_info.ah_idx)
__u8 rsvd[4]; // offset 4 - NEVER SET <- LEAK
};
rsvd[4]: 4 bytes of stack memory leaked unconditionally. Only ah_id is assigned before ib_respond_udata().
The reserved members of the structure were not zeroed. |
| A memory leak flaw was found in Golang in the RSA encrypting/decrypting code, which might lead to a resource exhaustion vulnerability using attacker-controlled inputs. The memory leak happens in github.com/golang-fips/openssl/openssl/rsa.go#L113. The objects leaked are pkey and ctx. That function uses named return parameters to free pkey and ctx if there is an error initializing the context or setting the different properties. All return statements related to error cases follow the "return nil, nil, fail(...)" pattern, meaning that pkey and ctx will be nil inside the deferred function that should free them. |
| A flaw was identified in the interactive shell of the xmllint utility, part of the libxml2 project, where memory allocated for user input is not properly released under certain conditions. When a user submits input consisting only of whitespace, the program skips command execution but fails to free the allocated buffer. Repeating this action causes memory to continuously accumulate. Over time, this can exhaust system memory and terminate the xmllint process, creating a denial-of-service condition on the local system. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: fix resource leak in blk_register_queue() error path
When registering a queue fails after blk_mq_sysfs_register() is
successful but the function later encounters an error, we need
to clean up the blk_mq_sysfs resources.
Add the missing blk_mq_sysfs_unregister() call in the error path
to properly clean up these resources and prevent a memory leak. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86/amd: Fix memory leak in wbrf_record()
The tmp buffer is allocated using kcalloc() but is not freed if
acpi_evaluate_dsm() fails. This causes a memory leak in the error path.
Fix this by explicitly freeing the tmp buffer in the error handling
path of acpi_evaluate_dsm(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix memory leak in skb_segment_list for GRO packets
When skb_segment_list() is called during packet forwarding, it handles
packets that were aggregated by the GRO engine.
Historically, the segmentation logic in skb_segment_list assumes that
individual segments are split from a parent SKB and may need to carry
their own socket memory accounting. Accordingly, the code transfers
truesize from the parent to the newly created segments.
Prior to commit ed4cccef64c1 ("gro: fix ownership transfer"), this
truesize subtraction in skb_segment_list() was valid because fragments
still carry a reference to the original socket.
However, commit ed4cccef64c1 ("gro: fix ownership transfer") changed
this behavior by ensuring that fraglist entries are explicitly
orphaned (skb->sk = NULL) to prevent illegal orphaning later in the
stack. This change meant that the entire socket memory charge remained
with the head SKB, but the corresponding accounting logic in
skb_segment_list() was never updated.
As a result, the current code unconditionally adds each fragment's
truesize to delta_truesize and subtracts it from the parent SKB. Since
the fragments are no longer charged to the socket, this subtraction
results in an effective under-count of memory when the head is freed.
This causes sk_wmem_alloc to remain non-zero, preventing socket
destruction and leading to a persistent memory leak.
The leak can be observed via KMEMLEAK when tearing down the networking
environment:
unreferenced object 0xffff8881e6eb9100 (size 2048):
comm "ping", pid 6720, jiffies 4295492526
backtrace:
kmem_cache_alloc_noprof+0x5c6/0x800

inet6_create.part.0+0x303/0x10d0
__sock_create+0x248/0x640
__sys_socket+0x11b/0x1d0
Since skb_segment_list() is exclusively used for SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST
packets constructed by GRO, the truesize adjustment is removed.
The call to skb_release_head_state() must be preserved. As documented in
commit cf673ed0e057 ("net: fix fraglist segmentation reference count
leak"), it is still required to correctly drop references to SKB
extensions that may be overwritten during __copy_skb_header(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
idpf: fix memory leak of flow steer list on rmmod
The flow steering list maintains entries that are added and removed as
ethtool creates and deletes flow steering rules. Module removal with active
entries causes memory leak as the list is not properly cleaned up.
Prevent this by iterating through the remaining entries in the list and
freeing the associated memory during module removal. Add a spinlock
(flow_steer_list_lock) to protect the list access from multiple threads. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: ems_usb: ems_usb_read_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak
Fix similar memory leak as in commit 7352e1d5932a ("can: gs_usb:
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak").
In ems_usb_open(), the URBs for USB-in transfers are allocated, added to
the dev->rx_submitted anchor and submitted. In the complete callback
ems_usb_read_bulk_callback(), the URBs are processed and resubmitted. In
ems_usb_close() the URBs are freed by calling
usb_kill_anchored_urbs(&dev->rx_submitted).
However, this does not take into account that the USB framework unanchors
the URB before the complete function is called. This means that once an
in-URB has been completed, it is no longer anchored and is ultimately not
released in ems_usb_close().
Fix the memory leak by anchoring the URB in the
ems_usb_read_bulk_callback() to the dev->rx_submitted anchor. |
