| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: reclaim forward-allocated memory on RX path errors
After commit 9db5b3cec4ec ("mptcp: borrow forward memory from subflow"),
errors in the receive path prior to queueing skbs into the receive
queue do not trigger forward-allocated memory reclaiming.
Prevent forward memory from growing unboundedly in pathological drop
scenarios by explicitly reclaiming memory when skbs are dropped. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: ax88179_178a: fix skb leak in ax88179_tx_fixup()
When the interface has NETIF_F_SG enabled and skb_linearize() fails in
ax88179_tx_fixup(), the function returns NULL without freeing the skb.
usbnet_start_xmit() treats a NULL return from tx_fixup() as a drop
(info->flags does not set FLAG_MULTI_PACKET for this driver), jumping
to the "drop" label where it does `if (skb) dev_kfree_skb_any(skb)`.
Because tx_fixup() returned NULL, the local skb variable in
usbnet_start_xmit() is NULL, so the original skb is never freed — a
memory leak on every TX frame whose linearization fails (i.e. under
memory pressure).
Free the skb before returning, matching the error handling already used
for the pskb_expand_head() failure path in the same function. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: bridge: release template ct on non-IP path
A bridge nftables ct zone set rule can attach a conntrack template to
an skb before nf_ct_bridge_pre() sees it. For non-IPv4 and non-IPv6
EtherTypes, nf_ct_bridge_pre() currently overwrites skb->_nfct with
IP_CT_UNTRACKED without releasing the existing template reference.
That makes the per-cpu template, and any temporary templates allocated
for concurrent use, unreachable and leaks memory until the host runs out
of slab.
Reset the skb conntrack state before marking the frame untracked so the
existing template reference is dropped on the non-IP path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_ct: fix sk_buff leak when the header checks reject a packet
tcf_ct_handle_fragments() runs its header sanity checks before handing
anything to the defragmentation engine:
if (family == NFPROTO_IPV4)
err = tcf_ct_ipv4_is_fragment(skb, &frag);
else
err = tcf_ct_ipv6_is_fragment(skb, &frag);
if (err || !frag)
return err;
tcf_ct_ipv4_is_fragment() returns -EINVAL or -ENOMEM;
tcf_ct_ipv6_is_fragment() adds -EPROTO when ipv6_find_hdr() fails. None of
them frees or queues the skb, so on that path the caller still owns it.
tcf_ct_act() however funnels every non-zero return into the
ownership-transfer exit:
err = tcf_ct_handle_fragments(net, skb, family, p->zone, &defrag);
if (err)
goto out_frag;
...
out_frag:
if (err != -EINPROGRESS)
tcf_action_inc_drop_qstats(&c->common);
return TC_ACT_CONSUMED;
TC_ACT_CONSUMED means the action took ownership of the skb, so no caller
frees it - sch_handle_ingress(), sch_handle_egress() and
tcf_qevent_handle() all deliberately skip the free for that verdict. The
skb is therefore orphaned: one sk_buff plus its data buffer is leaked per
malformed packet, unbounded. Note the drop counter is already incremented
for these errors, so the statistics claim a drop that never happens.
Three different ownership states reach out_frag: today - the skb may be
queued by the defrag engine (-EINPROGRESS), already freed by
nf_ct_handle_fragments(), or still owned by us. Tell the caller which of
those it is, and free the packet ourselves in the last case, which
restores the TC_ACT_SHOT behaviour that predated the Fixes: commit.
Reproduced on v7.2-rc6 with a 54-byte frame carrying a 40-byte IPv6
header with nexthdr = 0 (hop-by-hop) and nothing after it, on a
clsact ingress chain with "action ct". kmemleak reports one leaked
232-byte skbuff_head_cache object plus its 704-byte data buffer per
packet; with this patch it reports none. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igbvf: Fix leak in TX DMA error cleanup
If an error is encountered while mapping TX buffers, the driver should
unmap any buffers already mapped for that skb.
Because count is incremented before each frag mapping, it will always
match the correct number of unmappings needed when dma_error is reached.
Decrementing count before the while loop in dma_error causes an
off-by-one error. If any mapping was successful before an unsuccessful
mapping, exactly one DMA mapping (the head) would leak.
This bug was introduced by a 2010 fix for an endless loop in dma_error.
All other affected drivers have already been fixed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix netns teardown to cancel the preallocation charger
Fix the teardown of an afs network namespace to make sure it cancels the
work item that keeps the preallocated rxrpc call/conn/peer queue charged
before incoming calls are disabled (i.e. listen 0).
Also, if net->live is false because the afs netns is being deleted, make
afs_charge_preallocation() skip charging and make afs_rx_new_call() avoid
requeuing the charger.
(This was found by AI review). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/mlx5: Fix transport-domain rollback and initialize lb mutex earlier
mlx5_ib_alloc_transport_domain() allocates a transport domain and then
may fail in mlx5_ib_enable_lb(). In that case, the allocated TD is leaked.
Fix this by deallocating the TD when mlx5_ib_enable_lb() returns an
error. Also return 0 explicitly in the no-loopback-capability success
branch, and move dev->lb.mutex initialization to mlx5_ib_stage_init_init(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix UMR XLT cleanup on ODP populate failure
mlx5r_umr_update_xlt() allocates and DMA maps an XLT buffer with
mlx5r_umr_create_xlt(). The buffer is released by the common cleanup path
through mlx5r_umr_unmap_free_xlt().
After mlx5_odp_populate_xlt() became fallible, its error path returned
directly and skipped that cleanup. This leaks the XLT DMA mapping and
buffer. If the emergency XLT page was used, it also leaves
xlt_emergency_page_mutex locked.
Break out of the loop so execution falls through the existing cleanup path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7996: Fix possible token leak in mt7996_tx_prepare_skb()
If link_conf or link_sta lookup fails in mt7996_tx_prepare_skb routine,
mt7996 driver leaks an already allocated tx token. Fix the issue
releasing the token in case of error. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Handle layout stid in nfsd4_drop_revoked_stid()
nfsd4_drop_revoked_stid() has no SC_TYPE_LAYOUT case, so when a
client sends FREE_STATEID for an admin-revoked layout stid, the
default branch releases cl_lock and returns without unhashing or
releasing the stid. The stid remains in the IDR and on the
per-client list until the client is destroyed.
Remove the layout stid from the per-client list and call
nfs4_put_stid() to drop the creation reference. When the
refcount reaches zero, nfsd4_free_layout_stateid() handles the
remaining cleanup: cancelling the fence worker, removing from
the per-file list, and freeing the slab object. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: dell-laptop: fix missing cleanups in init error path
dell_init() initializes several resources after dell_setup_rfkill(),
including the optional touchpad LED, keyboard backlight LED, battery
hook, debugfs directory and dell-laptop notifier.
If a later LED or backlight registration fails, the error path only
tears down the battery hook and rfkill resources. This leaves the
notifier, debugfs directory, keyboard backlight LED and optional
touchpad LED registered after dell_init() returns an error.
Add the missing cleanup calls before tearing down rfkill. |
| The Link Layer Control Procedure (LLCP) implementation of the Zephyr software Bluetooth LE Controller retains the receive node that carried an accepted LL_PHY_UPDATE_IND so that it can later be reused for the host notification when the update instant is reached (llcp_rx_node_retain() in subsys/bluetooth/controller/ll_sw/ull_llcp.c, and the node is deliberately not recycled while marked NODE_RX_TYPE_RETAIN). The invalid-PDU arms of llcp_lp_pu_rx() and llcp_rp_pu_rx() in subsys/bluetooth/controller/ll_sw/ull_llcp_phy.c completed the procedure via llcp_lr_complete() / llcp_rr_complete() without first releasing that retained node, so the procedure context — the only remaining reference to the node — was freed while the node was still held out of the receive pool.
A peer device on an established LE connection can drive this deterministically and without pairing or encryption. Against a peripheral it sends LL_PHY_REQ, receives LL_PHY_RSP, sends a valid LL_PHY_UPDATE_IND with an instant a few connection events in the future (so the node becomes retained), and then, before the instant is reached, sends any other LL Control PDU such as LL_LENGTH_REQ; ull_cp_rx() routes it to the active remote PHY Update procedure, which takes the invalid-PDU path. The mirror case applies to a locally initiated PHY Update followed by an LL_REJECT_IND.
In the default configuration (CONFIG_BT_ASSERT and CONFIG_BT_CTLR_ASSERT_DEBUG both default y) the violated invariant in llcp_lr_check_done() / llcp_rr_check_done() triggers a controller assertion, ending in k_oops() (or k_panic()) — a single crafted PDU sequence from radio range faults the device. With those assertions compiled out, each attempt silently leaks one receive PDU node and its memq link; because the controller receive pool is small (PDU_RX_CNT, driven by CONFIG_BT_CTLR_RX_BUFFERS, which defaults to 1) and each attempt costs the attacker only a reconnect, a few repetitions exhaust the pool and leave Bluetooth inoperable until reboot. On releases v3.4.0 through v3.7.x the assertion is never reached, whatever the configuration, so every attempt leaks silently.
The impact is limited to availability: the orphaned node leaves no dangling pointer that is later dereferenced and is never delivered to the host, so there is no memory corruption or information disclosure. The same pull request applies the identical release to the Connection Update and CIS-create procedures, whose invalid-PDU arms had the same omission. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: avoid leaking pre-allocated openowner on unconfirmed retry race
When find_or_alloc_open_stateowner() encounters an unconfirmed owner, it
calls release_openowner() and sets oo = NULL. Control then falls through
past the `if (oo)` guard -- which would have freed any pre-allocated
`new` -- and unconditionally executes `new = alloc_stateowner(...)`. If
`new` was already allocated on a prior iteration, the pointer is
silently overwritten and the previous allocation (slab object + owner
name buffer) is leaked.
This requires a race: two NFSv4.0 OPEN threads with the same owner
string, where a concurrent thread inserts a new unconfirmed owner into
the hash between retry iterations. The window is narrow but repeatable
under adversarial conditions.
Fix by adding `goto retry` after `oo = NULL` so the already-allocated
`new` is reused on the next iteration rather than overwritten. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Drop all SCM attributes for SOCKMAP.
SOCKMAP can hide inflight fd from AF_UNIX GC.
When a socket in SOCKMAP receives skb with inflight fd,
sk_psock_verdict_data_ready() looks up the mapped socket and
enqueue skb to its psock->ingress_skb.
Since neither the old nor the new GC can inspect the psock
queue, the hidden skb leaks the inflight sockets. Note that
this cannot be detected via kmemleak because inflight sockets
are linked to a global list.
In addition, SOCKMAP redirect breaks the Tarjan-based GC's
assumption that unix_edge.successor is always alive, which
is no longer true once skb is redirected, resulting in
use-after-free below. [0]
Moreover, SOCKMAP does not call scm_stat_del() properly,
so unix_show_fdinfo() could report an incorrect fd count.
sk_msg_recvmsg() does not support any SCM attributes in the
first place.
Let's drop all SCM attributes before passing skb to the
SOCKMAP layer.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
neigh: let neigh_xmit take skb ownership
neigh_xmit always releases the skb, except when no neighbour table is
found. But even the first added user of neigh_xmit (mpls) relied on
neigh_xmit to release the skb (or queue it for tx).
sashiko reported:
If neigh_xmit() is called with an uninitialized neighbor table (for
example, NEIGH_ND_TABLE when IPv6 is disabled), it returns -EAFNOSUPPORT
and bypasses its internal out_kfree_skb error path. Because the return
value of neigh_xmit() is ignored here, does this leak the SKB?
Assume full ownership and remove the last code path that doesn't
xmit or free skb. |
| 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. |
| The Bluetooth Link Layer control procedure code in subsys/bluetooth/controller/ll_sw/ull_llcp_conn_upd.c retains the received RX node while a Connection Update / Connection Parameter procedure waits for its instant, so the node can later carry the host notification (llcp_rx_node_retain(), which marks it NODE_RX_TYPE_RETAIN and thereby suppresses the normal recycling in ull.c). The default: arm of llcp_rp_cu_rx() and llcp_lp_cu_rx() — the "invalid PDU, terminate the connection" path — completed the procedure without releasing that retained node. llcp_rr_check_done() then dequeued and freed the procedure context with ctx->node_ref.rx still pointing at the retained node, dropping the last reference to it.
A peer device in radio range can reach this without pairing, bonding, or encryption. Against a peripheral, the peer sends a well-formed LL_CONNECTION_UPDATE_IND with an instant a few connection events in the future (the node is retained and the procedure enters RP_CU_STATE_WAIT_INSTANT), then, before the instant is reached, sends any other LL Control PDU such as LL_LENGTH_REQ. ull_cp_rx() routes that PDU into the active remote Connection Update procedure, which takes the invalid-PDU path. The central role is reachable symmetrically after accepting an LL_CONNECTION_PARAM_REQ, and the local-procedure variant is reachable with LL_REJECT_IND.
With CONFIG_BT_CTLR_ASSERT_DEBUG enabled (its default), the resulting state violates the invariant asserted in llcp_rr_check_done(), so the two-PDU sequence produces an immediate fatal error in the controller. With those asserts disabled, each occurrence permanently loses one node from the controller's small fixed RX pool (sized from CONFIG_BT_CTLR_RX_BUFFERS, which defaults to 1); repeating the sequence across reconnections exhausts the pool, after which the link-layer receive path operates on a NULL node. The impact is an unauthenticated, remotely triggerable denial of service persisting until reboot; there is no memory-disclosure or memory-corruption consequence, since the leaked node simply becomes unreachable. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: avoid infinite loops caused by residual data
On the mkdir/mknod path, when mapping logical blocks to physical blocks,
if inserting a new extent into the extent tree fails (in this example,
because the file system disabled the huge file feature when marking the
inode as dirty), ext4_ext_map_blocks() only calls ext4_free_blocks() to
reclaim the physical block without deleting the corresponding data in
the extent tree. This causes subsequent mkdir operations to reference
the previously reclaimed physical block number again, even though this
physical block is already being used by the xattr block. Therefore, a
situation arises where both the directory and xattr are using the same
buffer head block in memory simultaneously.
The above causes ext4_xattr_block_set() to enter an infinite loop about
"inserted" and cannot release the inode lock, ultimately leading to the
143s blocking problem mentioned in [1].
If the metadata is corrupted, then trying to remove some extent space
can do even more harm. Also in case EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE
was passed, remove space wrongly update quota information.
Jan Kara suggests distinguishing between two cases:
1) The error is ENOSPC or EDQUOT - in this case the filesystem is fully
consistent and we must maintain its consistency including all the
accounting. However these errors can happen only early before we've
inserted the extent into the extent tree. So current code works correctly
for this case.
2) Some other error - this means metadata is corrupted. We should strive to
do as few modifications as possible to limit damage. So I'd just skip
freeing of allocated blocks.

wifi: mwifiex: fix IRQ leak using wrong index in MSI-X error path
mwifiex_pcie_request_irq() registers each MSI-X vector with a per-index
dev_id (&card->msix_ctx[i]). On a request_irq() failure the cleanup loop
"for (j = 0; j < i; j++)" frees msix_entries[j].vector but passes the
failed index's &card->msix_ctx[i] as the dev_id. free_irq() matches on
(irq, dev_id), so it fails to find the action registered with
&card->msix_ctx[j]: the already-requested IRQ j is not freed (leaked) and
free_irq() warns about freeing a non-existent IRQ. Use &card->msix_ctx[j]. |
