| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/hugetlb: restore reservation on error in hugetlb folio copy paths
Two sites in mm/hugetlb.c allocate a hugetlb folio via
alloc_hugetlb_folio() (consuming a VMA reservation) and then call
copy_user_large_folio(), which became int-returning in commit 1cb9dc4b475c
("mm: hwpoison: support recovery from HugePage copy-on-write faults") and
can now fail (e.g. -EHWPOISON on a hwpoisoned source page). On the
failure path, folio_put() restores the global hugetlb pool count through
free_huge_folio(), but the per-VMA reservation map entry is left marked
consumed:
- hugetlb_mfill_atomic_pte() resubmission path (UFFDIO_COPY)
- copy_hugetlb_page_range() fork-time CoW path when
hugetlb_try_dup_anon_rmap() fails (rare: pinned hugetlb anon
folio under fork)
User-visible effect: on UFFDIO_COPY into a private hugetlb VMA where the
resubmission copy fails, the reservation for that address is leaked from
the VMA's reserve map. A subsequent fault at the same address takes the
no-reservation path, and under hugetlb pool pressure the task is SIGBUSed
at an address it had previously reserved. The fork-time CoW path leaks
the same way in the child VMA's reserve map, though it requires the much
rarer combination of pinned hugetlb anon page + hwpoisoned source.
Add the missing restore_reserve_on_error() call before folio_put() on both
error paths. |

blk-cgroup: fix disk reference leak in blkcg_maybe_throttle_current()
Add the missing put_disk() on the error path in
blkcg_maybe_throttle_current(). When blkcg lookup, blkg lookup, or
blkg_tryget() fails, the function jumps to the out label which only
calls rcu_read_unlock() but does not release the disk reference acquired
by blkcg_schedule_throttle() via get_device(). Since current->throttle_disk
is already set to NULL before the lookup, blkcg_exit() cannot release
this reference either, causing the disk to never be freed.
Restore the reference release that was present as blk_put_queue() in the
original code but was inadvertently dropped during the conversion from
request_queue to gendisk. |

amd-pstate: Fix memory leak in amd_pstate_epp_cpu_init()
On failure to set the epp, the function amd_pstate_epp_cpu_init()
returns with an error code without freeing the cpudata object that was
allocated at the beginning of the function.
Ensure that the cpudata object is freed before returning from the
function.
This memory leak was discovered by Claude Opus 4.6 with the aid of
Chris Mason's AI review-prompts
(https://github.com/masoncl/review-prompts/tree/main/kernel). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
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:
dm cache metadata: fix memory leak on metadata abort retry
When failing to acquire the root_lock in dm_cache_metadata_abort because
the block_manager is read-only, the temporary block_manager created
outside the root_lock is not properly released, causing a memory leak.
Reproduce steps:
This can be reproduced by reloading a new table while the metadata
is read-only. While the second call to dm_cache_metadata_abort is
caused by lack of support for table preload in dm-cache, mentioned
in commit 9b1cc9f251af ("dm cache: share cache-metadata object across
inactive and active DM tables"), it exposes the memory leak in
dm_cache_metadata_abort when the function is called multiple times.
Specifically, dm-cache fails to sync the new cache object's mode during
preresume, creating the reproducer condition.
This issue could also occur through concurrent metadata_operation_failed
calls due to races in cache mode updates, but the table preload scenario
below provides a reliable reproducer.
1. Create a cache device with some faulty trailing metadata blocks
dmsetup create cmeta <<EOF
0 200 linear /dev/sdc 0
200 7992 error
EOF
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 131072 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 262144 linear /dev/sdc 262144"
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct
dmsetup create cache --table "0 131072 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 1 writethrough smq 0"
2. Suspend and resume the cache to start a new metadata transaction and
trigger metadata io errors on the next metadata commit.
dmsetup suspend cache
dmsetup resume cache
3. Write to the cache device to update metadata
fio --filename=/dev/mapper/cache --name test --rw=randwrite --bs=4k \
--randrepeat=0 --direct=1 --size 64k
4. Preload the same table
dmsetup reload cache --table "$(dmsetup table cache)"
5. Resume the new table. This triggers the memory leak.
dmsetup suspend cache
dmsetup resume cache

net/sched: netem: fix queue limit check to include reordered packets
The queue limit check in netem_enqueue() uses q->t_len which only
counts packets in the internal tfifo. Packets placed in sch->q by
the reorder path (__qdisc_enqueue_head) are not counted, allowing
the total queue occupancy to exceed sch->limit under reordering.
Include sch->q.qlen in the limit check. |

netfilter: nft_ct: fix missing expect put in obj eval
nft_ct_expect_obj_eval() allocates an expectation and may call
nf_ct_expect_related(), but never drops its local reference.
Add nf_ct_expect_put(exp) before return to balance allocation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix a buffer leak in __ceph_setxattr()
The old_blob in __ceph_setxattr() can store
ci->i_xattrs.prealloc_blob value during the retry.
However, it is never called the ceph_buffer_put()
for the old_blob object. This patch fixes the issue of
the buffer leak. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pmdomain: core: Fix detach procedure for virtual devices in genpd
If a device is attached to a PM domain through genpd_dev_pm_attach_by_id(),
genpd calls pm_runtime_enable() for the corresponding virtual device that
it registers. While this avoids boilerplate code in drivers, there is no
corresponding call to pm_runtime_disable() in genpd_dev_pm_detach().
This means these virtual devices are typically detached from its genpd,
while runtime PM remains enabled for them, which is not how things are
designed to work. In worst cases it may lead to critical errors, like a
NULL pointer dereference bug in genpd_runtime_suspend(), which was recently
reported. For another case, we may end up keeping an unnecessary vote for a
performance state for the device.
To fix these problems, let's add this missing call to pm_runtime_disable()
in genpd_dev_pm_detach(). |

drm/xe: Fix bo leak in xe_dma_buf_init_obj() on allocation failure
When drm_gpuvm_resv_object_alloc() fails, the pre-allocated storage bo
is not freed. Add xe_bo_free(storage) before returning the error.
xe_dma_buf_init_obj() calls xe_bo_init_locked(), which frees the bo on
error. Therefore, xe_dma_buf_init_obj() must also free the bo on its own
error paths. Otherwise, since xe_gem_prime_import() cannot distinguish
whether the failure originated from xe_dma_buf_init_obj() or from
xe_bo_init_locked(), it cannot safely decide whether the bo should be
freed.
Add comments documenting the ownership semantics: on success, ownership
of storage is transferred to the returned drm_gem_object; on failure,
storage is freed before returning.
v2: Add comments to explain the free logic.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: xfrm6: release dst on error in xfrm6_rcv_encap()
xfrm6_rcv_encap() performs an IPv6 route lookup when the skb does not
already have a dst attached. ip6_route_input_lookup() returns a
referenced dst entry even when the lookup resolves to an error route.
If dst->error is set, xfrm6_rcv_encap() drops the skb without attaching
the dst to the skb and without releasing the reference returned by the
lookup. Repeated packets hitting this path therefore leak dst entries.
Release the dst before jumping to the drop path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
8021q: delete cleared egress QoS mappings
vlan_dev_set_egress_priority() currently keeps cleared egress
priority mappings in the hash as tombstones. Repeated set/clear cycles
with distinct skb priorities therefore accumulate mapping nodes until
device teardown and leak memory.
Delete mappings when vlan_prio is cleared instead of keeping tombstones.
Now that the egress mapping lists are RCU protected, the node can be
unlinked safely and freed after a grace period. |

RDMA/mana: Fix error unwind in mana_ib_create_qp_rss()
Sashiko points out that mana_ib_cfg_vport_steering() is leaked, the normal
destroy path cleans it up. |

usb: ulpi: fix memory leak on ulpi_register() error paths
Commit 01af542392b5 ("usb: ulpi: fix double free in
ulpi_register_interface() error path") removed kfree(ulpi) from
ulpi_register_interface() to fix a double-free when device_register()
fails.
But when ulpi_of_register() or ulpi_read_id() fail before
device_register() is called, the ulpi allocation is leaked.
Add kfree(ulpi) on both error paths to properly clean up the allocation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: ucan: 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 control message buffer lifetime so that it is released on driver
unbind. |

zram: do not forget to endio for partial discard requests
As reported by Qu Wenruo and Avinesh Kumar, the following
getconf PAGESIZE
65536
blkdiscard -p 4k /dev/zram0
takes literally forever to complete. zram doesn't support partial
discards and just returns immediately w/o doing any discard work in such
cases. The problem is that we forget to endio on our way out, so
blkdiscard sleeps forever in submit_bio_wait(). Fix this by jumping to
end_bio label, which does bio_endio(). |

spi: fix resource leaks on device setup failure
Make sure to call controller cleanup() if spi_setup() fails while
registering a device to avoid leaking any resources allocated by
setup(). |

ocfs2: split transactions in dio completion to avoid credit exhaustion
During ocfs2 dio operations, JBD2 may report warnings via following
call trace:
ocfs2_dio_end_io_write
ocfs2_mark_extent_written
ocfs2_change_extent_flag
ocfs2_split_extent
ocfs2_try_to_merge_extent
ocfs2_extend_rotate_transaction
ocfs2_extend_trans
jbd2__journal_restart
start_this_handle
output: JBD2: kworker/6:2 wants too many credits credits:5450 rsv_credits:0 max:5449
To prevent exceeding the credits limit, modify ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() to
handle extents in a batch of transaction.
Additionally, relocate ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan(). The orphan inode
should only be removed from the orphan list after the extent tree update
is complete. This ensures that if a crash occurs in the middle of extent
tree updates, we won't leave stale blocks beyond EOF.
This patch also changes the logic for updating the inode size and removing
orphan, making it similar to ext4_dio_write_end_io(). Both operations are
performed only when everything looks good.
Finally, thanks to Jans and Joseph for providing the bug fix prototype and
suggestions. |
