| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: always free skb on ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() failure
ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() has three error paths, but only two of them
free the skb. The first error path (ieee80211_tx_prepare() returning
TX_DROP) does not free it, while invoke_tx_handlers() failure and the
fragmentation check both do.
Add kfree_skb() to the first error path so all three are consistent,
and remove the now-redundant frees in callers (ath9k, mt76,
mac80211_hwsim) to avoid double-free.
Document the skb ownership guarantee in the function's kdoc. |

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:
ice: Fix memory leak in ice_set_ringparam()
In ice_set_ringparam, tx_rings and xdp_rings are allocated before
rx_rings. If the allocation of rx_rings fails, the code jumps to
the done label leaking both tx_rings and xdp_rings. Furthermore, if
the setup of an individual Rx ring fails during the loop, the code jumps
to the free_tx label which releases tx_rings but leaks xdp_rings.
Fix this by introducing a free_xdp label and updating the error paths to
ensure both xdp_rings and tx_rings are properly freed if rx_rings
allocation or setup fails.
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: Fix connections leak when tlink setup failed
If the tlink setup failed, lost to put the connections, then
the module refcnt leak since the cifsd kthread not exit.
Also leak the fscache info, and for next mount with fsc, it will
print the follow errors:
CIFS: Cache volume key already in use (cifs,127.0.0.1:445,TEST)
Let's check the result of tlink setup, and do some cleanup. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_ct: fix ref leak when switching zones
When switching zones or network namespaces without doing a ct clear in
between, it is now leaking a reference to the old ct entry. That's
because tcf_ct_skb_nfct_cached() returns false and
tcf_ct_flow_table_lookup() may simply overwrite it.
The fix is to, as the ct entry is not reusable, free it already at
tcf_ct_skb_nfct_cached(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix memory leak
[why]
Resource release is needed on the error handling path
to prevent memory leak.
[how]
Fix this by adding kfree on the error handling path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regmap: maple: free entry on mas_store_gfp() failure
regcache_maple_write() allocates a new block ('entry') to merge
adjacent ranges and then stores it with mas_store_gfp().
When mas_store_gfp() fails, the new 'entry' remains allocated and
is never freed, leaking memory.
Free 'entry' on the failure path; on success continue freeing the
replaced neighbor blocks ('lower', 'upper'). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: liquidio: Initialize netdev pointer before queue setup
In setup_nic_devices(), the netdev is allocated using alloc_etherdev_mq().
However, the pointer to this structure is stored in oct->props[i].netdev
only after the calls to netif_set_real_num_rx_queues() and
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues().
If either of these functions fails, setup_nic_devices() returns an error
without freeing the allocated netdev. Since oct->props[i].netdev is still
NULL at this point, the cleanup function liquidio_destroy_nic_device()
will fail to find and free the netdev, resulting in a memory leak.
Fix this by initializing oct->props[i].netdev before calling the queue
setup functions. This ensures that the netdev is properly accessible for
cleanup in case of errors.
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review. |
| 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. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: Fix cred ref leak in nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit().
syzbot reported memory leak of struct cred. [0]
nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit() passes get_current_cred() to
nfsd_svc(), but put_cred() is not called after that.
The cred is finally passed down to _svc_xprt_create(),
which calls get_cred() with the cred for struct svc_xprt.
The ownership of the refcount by get_current_cred() is not
transferred to anywhere and is just leaked.
nfsd_svc() is also called from write_threads(), but it does
not bump file->f_cred there.
nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit() is called from sendmsg() and
current->cred does not go away.
Let's use current_cred() in nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit().

This occurs when allocating MSI-X vectors for an NVMe device. During
allocation the XIVE code creates a struct xive_irq_data and stores it
in irq_data->chip_data.
When the MSI-X irqdomain is later freed, xive_irq_free_data() is
responsible for retrieving this structure and freeing it. However,
after commit cc0cc23babc9 ("powerpc/xive: Untangle xive from child
interrupt controller drivers"), xive_irq_free_data() retrieves the
chip_data using irq_get_chip_data(), which looks up the data through
the child domain.
This is incorrect because the XIVE-specific irq data is associated with
the XIVE (parent) domain. As a result the lookup fails and the allocated
struct xive_irq_data is never freed, leading to the kmemleak report
shown above.
Fix this by retrieving the irq_data from the correct domain using
irq_domain_get_irq_data() and then accessing the chip_data via
irq_data_get_irq_chip_data(). |

fs/ntfs3: fix ntfs_mount_options leak in ntfs_fill_super()
In ntfs_fill_super(), the fc->fs_private pointer is set to NULL without
first freeing the memory it points to. This causes the subsequent call to
ntfs_fs_free() to skip freeing the ntfs_mount_options structure.
This results in a kmemleak report:

This issue can be reproduced using the following commands:
fallocate -l 100M test.file
mount test.file /tmp/test
Since sbi->options is duplicated from fc->fs_private and does not
directly use the memory allocated for fs_private, it is unnecessary to
set fc->fs_private to NULL.
Additionally, this patch simplifies the code by utilizing the helper
function put_mount_options() instead of open-coding the cleanup logic. |
| OpenSSH server (sshd) 9.1 introduced a double-free vulnerability during options.kex_algorithms handling. This is fixed in OpenSSH 9.2. The double free can be leveraged, by an unauthenticated remote attacker in the default configuration, to jump to any location in the sshd address space. One third-party report states "remote code execution is theoretically possible." |
| png_create_info_struct in png.c in libpng 1.6.36 has a memory leak, as demonstrated by pngcp. NOTE: a third party has stated "I don't think it is libpng's job to free this buffer. |
| 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:
mtd: parsers: Fix memory leak in mtd_parser_tplink_safeloader_parse()
The function mtd_parser_tplink_safeloader_parse() allocates buf via
mtd_parser_tplink_safeloader_read_table(). If the allocation for
parts[idx].name fails inside the loop, the code jumps to the err_free
label without freeing buf, leading to a memory leak.
Fix this by freeing the temporary buffer buf in the err_free label.

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:
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:
gpib: Fix memory leak in ni_usb_init()
In ni_usb_init(), if ni_usb_setup_init() fails, the function returns
-EFAULT without freeing the allocated writes buffer, leading to a
memory leak.
Additionally, ni_usb_setup_init() returns 0 on failure, which causes
ni_usb_init() to return -EFAULT, an inappropriate error code for this
situation.
Fix the leak by freeing writes in the error path. Modify
ni_usb_setup_init() to return -EINVAL on failure and propagate this
error code in ni_usb_init(). |
