netfs: Fix leak of request in netfs_write_begin() error handling
Fix netfs_write_begin() to not leak our ref on the request in the event
that we get an error from netfs_wait_for_read(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: fix stale per-CPU tcp_tw_isn leak enabling ISN prediction
Blamed commit moved the TIME_WAIT-derived ISN from the skb control
block to a per-CPU variable, assuming the value would always be consumed
by tcp_conn_request() for the same packet that wrote it. That assumption
is violated by multiple drop paths between the producer
(__this_cpu_write(tcp_tw_isn, isn) in tcp_v{4,6}_rcv()) and the consumer
(tcp_conn_request()):
- min_ttl / min_hopcount check
- xfrm policy check
- tcp_inbound_hash() MD5/AO mismatch
- tcp_filter() eBPF/SO_ATTACH_FILTER drop
- th->syn && th->fin discard in tcp_rcv_state_process() TCP_LISTEN
- psp_sk_rx_policy_check() in tcp_v{4,6}_do_rcv()
- tcp_checksum_complete() in tcp_v{4,6}_do_rcv()
- tcp_v{4,6}_cookie_check() returning NULL
When a packet is dropped on any of these paths, tcp_tw_isn is left set.
The next SYN processed on the same CPU then consumes the non zero value in
tcp_conn_request(), receiving a potentially predictable ISN.
This patch moves back tcp_tw_isn to skb->cb[], getting rid of the per-cpu
variable.
Note that tcp_v{4,6}_fill_cb() do not set it.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ethtool: rss: fix indir_table and hkey leak on get_rxfh failure
rss_prepare_get() allocates the indirection table and hash key buffer
via rss_get_data_alloc(), then calls ops->get_rxfh() to populate them.
If get_rxfh() fails, the function returns an error without freeing
the allocation. |

wifi: fix leak if split 6 GHz scanning fails
rdev->int_scan_req is leaked if cfg80211_scan() fails. Note that it's
supposed to be released at ___cfg80211_scan_done() but this doesn't happen
as rdev->scan_req is NULL at that point, too, leading to the early return
from the freeing function.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: rockchip: fix generic IRQ chip leak on remove
The driver allocates domain generic chips using
irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips() during probe. However, on driver
remove/teardown, the generic chips are not automatically freed when the
IRQ domain is removed because the domain flags do not include
IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_DESTROY_GC.
This causes both the domain generic chips structure and the associated
generic chips to be leaked. Additionally, the generic chips remain on
the global gc_list and may later be visited by generic IRQ chip suspend,
resume, or shutdown callbacks after the GPIO bank has been removed,
potentially resulting in a use-after-free and kernel crash.
Fix the resource leak by explicitly calling
irq_domain_remove_generic_chips() before removing the IRQ domain in
rockchip_gpio_remove(). |

wifi: ath11k: fix memory leaks in beacon template setup
The functions ath11k_mac_setup_bcn_tmpl_ema() and
ath11k_mac_setup_bcn_tmpl_mbssid() allocate memory for beacon templates
but fail to free it when parameter setup returns an error.
Since beacon templates must be released during normal execution, they
must also be released in the error handling paths to prevent memory
leaks.
Fix this by using unified exit paths with proper cleanup in the respective
error paths.
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: Fix memory leak destroying device
All MT76 rx queues have an associated page_pool even if the queue is not
associated to a NAPI (e.g. WED RRO queues with WED enabled). Destroy the
page_pool running mt76_dma_cleanup routine during module unload.
Moreover returns pages to the page pool if WED is not enabled for WED RRO
queues. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: Fix memory leak after mt76_connac_mcu_alloc_sta_req()
mt76_connac_mcu_alloc_sta_req() allocates an skb which is expected to
be freed eventually by mt76_mcu_skb_send_msg(). However, currently if
an intermediate function fails before sending, the allocated skb is
leaked.
Specifically, mt76_connac_mcu_sta_wed_update() and
mt76_connac_mcu_sta_key_tlv() may fail, leading to an immediate memory
leak in the error path.
Fix this by explicitly freeing the skb in these error paths.
Commit 7c0f63fe37a5 ("wifi: mt76: mt7996: fix memory leak on
mt7996_mcu_sta_key_tlv error") made a similar change.
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tap: fix stack info leak in tap_ioctl() SIOCGIFHWADDR
In the SIOCGIFHWADDR path, tap_ioctl() copies 16 bytes of an
uninitialised on-stack struct sockaddr_storage to userspace via
ifr_hwaddr, but netif_get_mac_address() only writes sa_family and
dev->addr_len (6 for Ethernet) bytes, leaving sa_data[6..13] uninitialised.
Those 8 trailing bytes leak kernel stack contents; SIOCGIFHWADDR on a
macvtap chardev returns kernel .text and direct-map pointers, defeating
KASLR.
Initialise ss at declaration. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: ch341: 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 controller and driver data lifetime so that they are released
on driver unbind.
Note that this also makes sure that the SPI controller is placed
correctly under the USB interface in the device tree. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: kvm: fix vector context allocation leak
When the second kzalloc (host_context.vector.datap) fails in
kvm_riscv_vcpu_alloc_vector_context, the first allocation
(guest_context.vector.datap) is leaked. Free it before returning. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: fix memory leaks in gfs2_fill_super error path
Fix two memory leaks in the gfs2_fill_super() error handling path when
transitioning a filesystem to read-write mode fails.
First leak: kthread objects (thread_struct, task_struct, etc.)
When gfs2_freeze_lock_shared() fails after init_threads() succeeds, the
created kernel threads (logd and quotad) are never destroyed. This
occurs because the fail_per_node label doesn't call
gfs2_destroy_threads().
Second leak: quota bitmap buffer (8192 bytes)
When gfs2_make_fs_rw() fails after gfs2_quota_init() succeeds but
before other operations complete, the allocated quota bitmap is never
freed.
The fix moves thread cleanup to the fail_per_node label to handle all
error paths uniformly. gfs2_destroy_threads() is safe to call
unconditionally as it checks for NULL pointers. Quota cleanup is added
in gfs2_make_fs_rw() to properly handle the withdrawal case where
quota initialization succeeds but the filesystem is then withdrawn.

| 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:
kcm: fix zero-frag skb in frag_list on partial sendmsg error
Syzkaller reported a warning in kcm_write_msgs() when processing a
message with a zero-fragment skb in the frag_list.
When kcm_sendmsg() fills MAX_SKB_FRAGS fragments in the current skb,
it allocates a new skb (tskb) and links it into the frag_list before
copying data. If the copy subsequently fails (e.g. -EFAULT from
user memory), tskb remains in the frag_list with zero fragments:
head skb (msg being assembled, NOT yet in sk_write_queue)
+-----------+
| frags[17] | (MAX_SKB_FRAGS, all filled with data)
| frag_list-+--> tskb
+-----------+ +----------+
| frags[0] | (empty! copy failed before filling)
+----------+
For SOCK_SEQPACKET with partial data already copied, the error path
saves this message via partial_message for later completion. For
SOCK_SEQPACKET, sock_write_iter() automatically sets MSG_EOR, so a
subsequent zero-length write(fd, NULL, 0) completes the message and
queues it to sk_write_queue. kcm_write_msgs() then walks the
frag_list and hits:
WARN_ON(!skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags)
TCP has a similar pattern where skbs are enqueued before data copy
and cleaned up on failure via tcp_remove_empty_skb(). KCM was
missing the equivalent cleanup.
Fix this by tracking the predecessor skb (frag_prev) when allocating
a new frag_list entry. On error, if the tail skb has zero frags,
use frag_prev to unlink and free it in O(1) without walking the
singly-linked frag_list. frag_prev is safe to dereference because
the entire message chain is only held locally (or in kcm->seq_skb)
and is not added to sk_write_queue until MSG_EOR, so the send path
cannot free it underneath us.
Also change the WARN_ON to WARN_ON_ONCE to avoid flooding the log
if the condition is somehow hit repeatedly.
There are currently no KCM selftests in the kernel tree; a simple
reproducer is available at [1].

s390/zcrypt: Fix memory leak with CCA cards used as accelerator
Tests showed that there is a memory leak if CCA cards are used as
accelerator for clear key RSA requests (ME and CRT). With the last
rework for the memory allocation the AP messages are allocated by
ap_init_apmsg() but for some reason on two places (ME and CRT) the
older allocation was still in place. So the first allocation simple
was never freed. |
| 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:
of: unittest: Fix memory leak in unittest_data_add()
In unittest_data_add(), if of_resolve_phandles() fails, the allocated
unittest_data is not freed, leading to a memory leak.
Fix this by using scope-based cleanup helper __free(kfree) for automatic
resource cleanup. This ensures unittest_data is automatically freed when
it goes out of scope in error paths.
For the success path, use retain_and_null_ptr() to transfer ownership
of the memory to the device tree and prevent double freeing. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix xmit_frame/xmit_buf leaks on mgnt-frame error paths
issue_beacon(), issue_probersp() and issue_asocrsp() obtain a management
xmit_frame together with its xmit_buf from the driver's fixed-size
management-TX pools via alloc_mgtxmitframe(). On the normal path the frame
is handed to dump_mgntframe(), which transfers ownership and eventually
returns both objects to their pools (the frame and, for beacons, the buf
in rtl8723bs_mgnt_xmit(); other bufs via the pending-xmitbuf/TX-completion
path).
Several error/edge paths return early after a successful
alloc_mgtxmitframe() but before dump_mgntframe(), so ownership is never
transferred and neither object is freed:
- issue_beacon(): beacon larger than 512 bytes
- issue_probersp(): cur_network->ie_length > MAX_IE_SZ
- issue_probersp(): kzalloc() of the SSID scratch buffer fails
- issue_asocrsp(): pkt_type is neither ASSOCRSP nor REASSOCRSP
Because alloc_mgtxmitframe() removes the frame and buf from their free
lists (list_del_init) without placing them on any pending list, an
orphaned pair is on no list and referenced by nobody, so it is only
reclaimed at driver teardown. Repeated hits progressively exhaust the
management-TX pools until alloc_mgtxmitframe() returns NULL and the
interface can no longer send beacons or probe/assoc responses.
Free the frame and buffer on these paths, matching the existing correct
error handling in issue_assocreq(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw88: Use devm_kmemdup() in rtw_set_supported_band()
Simplify the code by using device managed memory allocations.
This also fixes a memory leak in rtw_register_hw(). The supported bands
were not freed in the error path.
Copied from commit 145df52a8671 ("wifi: rtw89: Convert
rtw89_core_set_supported_band to use devm_*"). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
most: core: fix resource leak in most_register_interface error paths
The function most_register_interface() did not correctly release resources
if it failed early (before registering the device). In these cases, it
returned an error code immediately, leaking the memory allocated for the
interface.
Fix this by initializing the device early via device_initialize() and
calling put_device() on all error paths.
The most_register_interface() is expected to call put_device() on
error which frees the resources allocated in the caller. The
put_device() either calls release_mdev() or dim2_release(),
depending on the caller.
Switch to using device_add() instead of device_register() to handle
the split initialization. |
