| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipmi: fix refcount leak in i_ipmi_request()
When a caller provides a `supplied_recv` message to i_ipmi_request(),
the function increments the user's `nr_msgs` reference count. If an
error occurs later, the out_err cleanup path only frees the recv_msg
if the function allocated it itself (i.e., !supplied_recv). In the
supplied_recv case the cleanup is skipped, leaving the reference count
elevated. The caller ipmi_request_supply_msgs() does not release the
supplied_recv on error, so the reference is permanently leaked.
Fix this by explicitly reverting the reference count operations when a
supplied recv_msg with a valid user pointer is present in the error
path: decrement nr_msgs and drop the user's kref. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hsr: fix memory leak on slave unregistration by removing synced VLANs
When an HSR master device is brought UP, it auto-adds VLAN 0 via
vlan_vid0_add(), which propagates VID 0 to its slave devices (slave A and B).
If a slave device is later unregistered while HSR is active (e.g., during
netns cleanup or interface destruction), hsr_del_port() is called to
detach the slave port from the HSR master. However, hsr_del_port() currently
does not delete the VLAN IDs that were synced to the slave device by HSR.
As a result, the slave device retains a refcount on VID 0 (and any other
synced VLANs). When the slave device is destroyed, its vlan_info /
vlan_vid_info structure remains allocated, leading to a memory leak.
Fix this by calling vlan_vids_del_by_dev(port->dev, master->dev) in
hsr_del_port() before unlinking slave A or slave B ports, matching the
propagation logic in hsr_ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid() / hsr_ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid()
and the cleanup behavior in bonding and team drivers. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: fix memory leak in xfs_dqinode_metadir_create()
If xfs_metadir_create() fails in xfs_dqinode_metadir_create(), the current
code returns directly, leaking the allocated update and transaction state.
If the subsequent commit fails, the caller-owned inode reference is left
behind.
Fix this memory leak by routing the create failure path through
xfs_metadir_cancel(). For both create and commit failures, finish and
release any inode returned to the caller, mirroring the unwind pattern in
xfs_metadir_mkdir().
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still
present in v7.1.1.
An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. Runtime validation
used kprobe fault injection during `mount -o uquota` on a metadir XFS
image. Injecting xfs_metadir_create() reproduced the old active-update path
that left mount stuck later in mount setup; after this change, the same
injection reported cancel_hits=1 and irele_hits=1. Injecting
xfs_metadir_commit() exercised the old inode-reference leak path; after
this change, it reported irele_hits=1. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: serial: keyspan_pda: fix information leak
The write() callback is supposed to return the number of characters
accepted or a negative errno. Since the addition of write fifo support
the keyspan_pda implementation will however return the number characters
submitted to the device if the write urb is not already in use. If this
number is larger than the number of characters passed to write(), the
line discipline continues writing data from beyond the tty write buffer.
Fix the information leak by making sure that keyspan_pda_write_start()
returns zero on success as intended. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: ulpi: fix memory leak on registration failure
The allocated device name is never freed on early ULPI device
registration failures.
Fix this by initialising the device structure earlier and releasing the
initial reference whenever registration fails. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Move vevent memory allocation outside spinlock
The veventq memory allocation happens inside the spinlock. Given its depth
is decided by the user space, this leaves a vulnerability, where userspace
can allocate large queues to exhaust atomic memory reserves.
Move the allocation outside the spinlock and use GFP_NOWAIT, which can fail
fast under memory pressure without dipping into the GFP_ATOMIC reserves or
direct-reclaiming from the threaded IRQ handler. On allocation failure,
queue the lost_events_header (so userspace learns of the drop) and return
-ENOMEM so the caller learns of the kernel-side memory pressure.
This is intentionally distinct from the queue-overflow path, which also
queues the lost_events_header but returns 0: a full queue is an expected
userspace-pacing condition rather than a kernel error.
A subsequent change will cap the upper bound of the veventq_depth. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wwan: iosm: fix potential memory leaks in ipc_imem_init()
The memory allocated in ipc_protocol_init() is not freed on the error
paths that follow in ipc_imem_init(). Fix that by calling the
corresponding release function ipc_protocol_deinit() in the error path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: fix error path leaks in some WMI WOW calls
Fix two instances where we used to directly return the result of
ath11k_wmi_cmd_send(...). Because we did not check the return value, we
also did not free the skb in the error path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: fix metabuf leak in inode xattr initialization
commit bb88e8da0025 ("erofs: use meta buffers for xattr operations")
converted xattr operations to use on-stack erofs_buf instances.
erofs_init_inode_xattrs() uses such a metabuf while reading the inline
xattr header and shared xattr id array.
Some error paths after erofs_read_metabuf() leave through out_unlock
without dropping the metabuf, so the folio reference can leak.
Consolidate the cleanup at out_unlock. erofs_put_metabuf() is a
no-op if no folio has been acquired, and this keeps all paths after
taking EROFS_I_BL_XATTR_BIT covered by a single cleanup site. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btmtk: fix urb->setup_packet leak in error paths
The setup_packet of control urb is not freed if usb_submit_urb fails or
the submitted urb is killed. Add free in these two paths. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igc: fix potential skb leak in igc_fpe_xmit_smd_frame()
When igc_fpe_init_tx_descriptor() fails, no one takes care of an
allocated skb, leaking it. [1]
Use dev_kfree_skb_any() on failure.
Tested on an I226 adapter with the following command, while injecting
faults in igc_fpe_init_tx_descriptor() to trigger the error path.

drm/colorop: Fix blob property reference tracking in state lifecycle
The colorop state blob property handling had memory leaks during state
duplication, destruction, and reset operations. The implementation
failed to follow the established pattern from drm_crtc's handling of
DEGAMMA/GAMMA blob properties.
Issues fixed:
- drm_colorop_atomic_destroy_state() was freeing state memory without
releasing the blob reference, causing a leak
- drm_colorop_reset() was directly freeing old state with kfree()
instead of properly destroying it, leaking blob references
- drm_colorop_cleanup() had duplicate blob cleanup code
Changes:
- Add __drm_atomic_helper_colorop_destroy_state() helper to properly
release blob references before freeing state memory
- Update drm_colorop_atomic_destroy_state() to call the helper
- Fix drm_colorop_reset() to use drm_colorop_atomic_destroy_state()
for proper cleanup of old state
- Simplify drm_colorop_cleanup() to use the common destruction path
This matches the well-tested pattern used by drm_crtc since 2016 and
ensures proper reference counting throughout the state lifecycle.

Bluetooth: hci_conn: Fix memory leak in hci_le_big_terminate()
hci_le_big_terminate() allocates iso_list_data via kzalloc_obj but
returns 0 without freeing it when neither pa_sync_term nor big_sync_term
flags are set after evaluating the PA and BIG sync connection state.
This early-return path was introduced when hci_le_big_terminate() was
refactored to take struct hci_conn instead of raw u8 parameters, adding
PA/BIG flag evaluation logic. The existing kfree() on hci_cmd_sync_queue
failure does not cover this path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: Don't WARN if memory is dirtied without a vCPU when the VM is dying
When marking a page dirty, complain about not having a running/loaded vCPU
if and only if the VM is still alive, i.e. its refcount is non-zero. This
will allow fixing a memory leak for x86 SEV-ES guests without hitting what
is effectively a false positive on the WARN.
For some SEV-ES VM-Exits, KVM keeps a writable mapping of a guest page
across an exit to userspace, and typically unmaps the page on the next
KVM_RUN. But if userspace never calls KVM_RUN after such an exit, then KVM
needs to unmap the page when the vCPU is destroyed, which in turn triggers
the WARN about not having a running vCPU.
Alternatively, SEV-ES could temporarily load the vCPU to suppress the WARN,
as is done in nested_vmx_free_vcpu() (but for completely unrelated reasons;
suppressing WARN from nested_put_vmcs12_pages() is pure happenstance). But
loading a vCPU during destruction is gross (ideally nVMX code would be
cleaned up), risks complicating the SEV-ES code (KVM would need to ensure
the temporarily load()+put() only runs when the vCPU isn't already loaded),
and is ultimately pointless.
The motivation for the WARN is to guard against KVM dirtying guest memory
without pushing the corresponding GFN to the active vCPU's dirty ring, e.g.
to ensure userspace doesn't miss a dirty page. But for the VM's refcount
to reach zero, there can't be _any_ userspace mappings to the dirty ring,
as mapping the dirty ring requires doing mmap() on the vCPU FD. I.e. if
userspace had a valid mapping for the dirty ring, then the vCPU file and
thus the owning VM would still be alive. And so since userspace can't
possibly reach the dirty ring, whether or not KVM technically "misses" a
push to the dirty ring is irrelevant. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
devlink: Release nested relation on devlink free
devlink relation state is normally released from devl_unregister(), which
calls devlink_rel_put(). This misses devlink instances that get a nested
relation before registration and then fail probe before devl_register() is
reached.
That flow can happen for SFs. The child devlink gets linked to its
parent before registration, then a later probe error calls devlink_free()
directly. Since the instance was never registered, devl_unregister() is not
called and devlink->rel is leaked.
Release any pending relation from devlink_free() as well. The registered
path is unchanged because devl_unregister() already clears devlink->rel
before devlink_free() runs. |

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.

Bluetooth: fix memory leak in error path of hci_alloc_dev()
Early failures in Bluetooth HCI UART configuration leak SRCU percpu
memory.
When device initialization fails before hci_register_dev() completes,
the HCI_UNREGISTER flag is never set. As a result, when the device
reference count reaches zero, bt_host_release() evaluates this flag as
false and falls back to a direct kfree(hdev).
Because hci_release_dev() is bypassed, the SRCU struct initialized
early in hci_alloc_dev() is never cleaned up, resulting in a leak of
percpu memory.
Fix the leak by explicitly calling cleanup_srcu_struct() in the
fallback (unregistered) branch of bt_host_release() before freeing
the device. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: openvswitch: fix possible kfree_skb of ERR_PTR
After the patch in the "Fixes" tag, the allocation of the "reply" skb
can happen either before or after locking the ovs_mutex.
However, error cleanups still follow the classical reversed order,
assuming "reply" is allocated before locking: it is freed after unlocking.
If "reply" allocation happens after locking the mutex and it fails,
"reply" is left with an ERR_PTR, and execution jumps to the correspondent
cleanup stage which will try to free an invalid pointer.
Fix this by setting the pointer to NULL after having saved its error
value. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: fix krealloc() memory leak
Don't just overwrite the original pointer passed to krealloc()
with its return value without checking latter:
MEM = krealloc(MEM, SZ, GFP);
If krealloc() returns NULL, that erases the pointer
to the still allocated memory, hence leaks this memory.
Instead, use a temporary variable, check it's not NULL
and only then assign it to the original pointer:
TMP = krealloc(MEM, SZ, GFP);
if (!TMP) return;
MEM = TMP;
While on it, use krealloc_array(). |
