| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: devicetree: don't free uninitialized dev_name on error path
dt_remember_or_free_map() duplicates dev_name for each map entry. If
kstrdup_const() fails, dt_free_map() frees dev_name in all num_maps
entries, including entries that have not been initialized.
Some pinctrl drivers, including pinctrl-imx, allocate the map with
kmalloc() and leave dev_name for the core to initialize. The untouched
entries therefore contain uninitialized data which is passed to
kfree_const().
Reproduced on qemu's mcimx6ul-evk (pinctrl-imx) with failslab injection
while binding the pinctrl-consuming device, under KASAN:
BUG: KASAN: double-free in dt_free_map+0x34/0xa4

Initialize all dev_name fields to NULL before duplicating the device
name, making the full-map cleanup safe after a partial failure. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: peak_usb: peak_usb_start(): fix double free of transfer buffer on URB submit error
In peak_usb_start(), each RX URB transfer buffer is allocated with kmalloc()
and the URB is flagged URB_FREE_BUFFER so that the final usb_free_urb() also
frees the transfer buffer.
If usb_submit_urb() fails, the error path frees the buffer explicitly with
kfree(buf) and then calls usb_free_urb(urb). Because URB_FREE_BUFFER is set,
usb_free_urb() -> urb_destroy() frees the same buffer a second time, a double
free of the transfer buffer.
BUG: KASAN: double-free in usb_free_urb.part.0+0x91/0xb0

Call Trace:
kfree+0x113/0x3c0

Drop the redundant kfree(buf); usb_free_urb() already releases the transfer
buffer. This mirrors commit 03819abbeb11 ("net: usb: lan78xx: Fix double free
issue with interrupt buffer allocation"). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-tcp: Fix potential UAF when ddgst mismatch
Shivam Kumar found via vulnerability testing:
When data digest is enabled on an NVMe/TCP connection and a digest
mismatch occurs on a non-final H2C_DATA PDU during an R2T-based
data transfer, the digest error handler in nvmet_tcp_try_recv_ddgst()
calls nvmet_req_uninit() — which performs percpu_ref_put() on the
submission queue — but does NOT mark the command as completed. It
does not set cqe->status, does not modify rbytes_done, and does not
clear any flag. When the subsequent fatal error triggers queue
teardown, nvmet_tcp_uninit_data_in_cmds() iterates all commands,
checks nvmet_tcp_need_data_in() for each one, and finds that the
already-uninited command still appears to need data (because
rbytes_done < transfer_len and cqe->status == 0). It therefore calls
nvmet_req_uninit() a second time on the same command — a double
percpu_ref_put against a single percpu_ref_get. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/hw_engine: Fix double-free of managed BO in error path
The error path in hw_engine_init() explicitly frees a BO allocated
with xe_managed_bo_create_pin_map() via xe_bo_unpin_map_no_vm().
Since the managed BO already has a devm cleanup action registered,
this causes a double-free when devm unwinds during probe failure.
Remove the explicit free and let devm handle it, consistent with
all other xe_managed_bo_create_pin_map() callers.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sunrpc: harden rq_procinfo lifecycle to prevent double-free
The svc_release_rqst() function executes the callback inside
rqstp->rq_procinfo->pc_release. However, if a worker thread begins
processing a new request and encounters an early error path (e.g.,
unsupported protocol, short frame, or bad auth) before a valid
rq_procinfo is installed, a stale release hook can be re-triggered
against reused state from the previous RPC, resulting in a double-free
or use-after-free vulnerability.
Harden the lifecycle of rq_procinfo by:
1. Ensuring svc_release_rqst() always clears rq_procinfo after the
optional pc_release() call, regardless of whether the hook exists.
2. Explicitly clearing rq_procinfo at request entry in svc_process()
before any early decode or drop paths.
3. Ensuring svc_process_bc() does the same at backchannel entry.
This guarantees that error flows will not encounter a non-NULL stale
rq_procinfo pointer when there is nothing to release. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm_early_create: fix freeing used table on dm_resume failure
If dm_resume fails, the kernel attempts to free table with
dm_table_destroy, but the table was already instantiated with
dm_swap_table. This commit skips the call to dm_table_destroy in this
case. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: vgic: Check the interrupt is still ours before migrating it
vgic_prune_ap_list() drops both ap_list_lock and irq_lock while migrating
an interrupt to another vCPU. After reacquiring the locks it only checks
that the affinity is unchanged (target_vcpu == vgic_target_oracle(irq))
before moving the interrupt, which assumes that an interrupt whose affinity
is preserved is still queued on this vCPU's ap_list.
That assumption no longer holds if the interrupt is taken off the ap_list
while the locks are dropped. vgic_flush_pending_lpis() removes the
interrupt from the list and sets irq->vcpu to NULL, but leaves
enabled/pending/target_vcpu untouched. As the interrupt is still enabled
and pending, vgic_target_oracle() returns the same target_vcpu, so the
affinity check passes and list_del() is run a second time on an entry that
has already been removed.
Also check that the interrupt is still assigned to this vCPU
(irq->vcpu == vcpu) before moving it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sungem: fix probe error cleanup
gem_init_one() calls gem_remove_one() when register_netdev() fails.
gem_remove_one() unregisters and frees resources owned by the net_device,
including the DMA block, MMIO mapping, PCI regions, and the net_device
itself. gem_init_one() then falls through to its own cleanup labels and
frees the same resources again.
Keep the register_netdev() error path in gem_init_one(): clear drvdata so
PM/remove paths do not see a half-registered device, remove the NAPI
instance added during probe, and let the existing cleanup labels release
the resources once.
The issue was found by a local static-analysis checker for probe error
paths. The reported path was manually inspected before sending this fix.
Compile-tested with CONFIG_SUNGEM=y. Runtime testing was not performed
because no sungem hardware is available. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: nat_keepalive: avoid double free on send error
nat_keepalive_send() frees the keepalive skb whenever the IPv4 or IPv6
send helper reports an error.
That cleanup is only correct before the skb is handed to the output
path. Once ip_build_and_send_pkt() or ip6_xmit() takes ownership, the
networking stack may already have consumed the skb before returning an
error, so freeing it again is unsafe.
Handle the pre-handoff failure cases inside nat_keepalive_send_ipv4()
and nat_keepalive_send_ipv6(), where the caller still owns the skb, and
keep nat_keepalive_send() responsible only for family dispatch and the
unsupported-family cleanup path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: most: video: avoid double free on video register failure
comp_register_videodev() allocates a video_device with
video_device_alloc() and releases it if video_register_device() fails.
This can double free the video_device when __video_register_device()
reaches device_register() and that call fails:
video_register_device()
-> __video_register_device()
-> device_register() fails
-> put_device(&vdev->dev)
-> v4l2_device_release()
-> vdev->release(vdev)
-> video_device_release(vdev)
comp_register_videodev()
-> video_device_release(mdev->vdev)
Use video_device_release_empty() while registering the device so that
registration failure paths do not free mdev->vdev through vdev->release().
comp_register_videodev() then releases mdev->vdev exactly once on failure.
Restore video_device_release() after successful registration so the
registered device keeps its normal lifetime handling.
This issue was found by a static analysis tool I am developing. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: dma-axi-dmac: Properly free struct axi_dmac_desc
Use axi_dmac_free_desc() to free fully the descriptor at fail path when
call axi_dmac_alloc_desc() in axi_dmac_prep_peripheral_dma_vec(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/resctrl: Fix double-add of pseudo-locked region's RMID to free list
A pseudo-locked group's RMID is freed when it is created. On unmount
rmdir_all_sub() unconditionally frees all RMID of all groups, resulting
in a double-free of the pseudo-locked group's RMID. The consequence of this
is that the original free results in the pseudo-locked group's RMID being
added to the rmid_free_lru linked list and the second free then attempts
to add the same RMID entry to the rmid_free_lru again.
Do not double-free a pseudo-locked group's RMID. |
| When using LookupCNAME with the cgo DNS resolver, a very long CNAME response can trigger a double-free of C memory and a crash. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: endpoint: pci-ep-msi: Fix error unwind and prevent double alloc
pci_epf_alloc_doorbell() stores the allocated doorbell message array in
epf->db_msg/epf->num_db before requesting MSI vectors. If MSI allocation
fails, the array is freed but the EPF state may still point to freed
memory.
Clear epf->db_msg and epf->num_db on the MSI allocation failure path so
that later cleanup cannot double-free the array and callers can retry
allocation.
Also return -EBUSY when doorbells have already been allocated to prevent
leaking or overwriting an existing allocation. |

usb: gadget: net2280: Fix double free in probe error path
usb_initialize_gadget() installs gadget_release() as the release
callback for the embedded gadget device. The struct net2280 instance is
therefore released through gadget_release() when the gadget device's last
reference is dropped.
The probe error path calls net2280_remove(), which tears down the
partially initialized device and drops the gadget reference with
usb_put_gadget(). Calling kfree(dev) afterwards can free the same object
again.
Drop the explicit kfree() and let the gadget device release callback
handle the final free. This issue was found by a static analysis tool
I am developing. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Do not call map->ops->elt_free() if elt_alloc() fails
In paths where tracing_map_elt_alloc() failed to allocate objects,
the map->ops->elt_alloc() call was never successful. In this case,
map->ops->elt_free() should not be called. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
qed: fix double free in qed_cxt_tables_alloc()
If one of the later PF or VF CID bitmap allocations fails,
qed_cid_map_alloc() jumps to cid_map_fail and frees the previously
allocated CID bitmaps before returning an error. qed_cxt_tables_alloc()
then calls qed_cxt_mngr_free(), which invokes qed_cid_map_free()
again.
Fix this by setting each CID bitmap pointer to NULL after bitmap_free()
to avoid double free.
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-rc3.
Runtime reproduction was not attempted because exercising the failing
allocation path requires device-specific setup. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: fix double free and WARN_ON in add_mtd_device() error paths
When device_register() or mtd_nvmem_add() fails inside
add_mtd_device() for a partition, the error handling triggers
mtd_release() via put_device() or device_unregister(). mtd_release()
calls release_mtd_partition() which frees the mtd_info structure.
However, callers such as mtd_add_partition() and add_mtd_partitions()
also call free_partition() in their error paths, resulting in a double
free.
Additionally, release_mtd_partition() hits WARN_ON(!list_empty(
&mtd->part.node)) because the partition node is still linked in the
parent's partitions list when the release callback fires from the
add_mtd_device() error path.
Fix this by overriding dev->type and dev->release before put_device()
in the error paths, so that device_release() invokes a no-op function
instead of mtd_release(). For the mtd_nvmem_add() failure case,
device_unregister() is replaced with device_del() to separate the
device removal from the final kobject reference drop, allowing the
override to take effect before put_device() is called.
The callers' error paths (list_del + free_partition) remain the sole
owners of mtd_info lifetime on add_mtd_device() failure, which is the
expected contract.
The normal partition teardown path is not affected: del_mtd_device()
goes through kref_put() -> mtd_device_release() -> device_unregister()
with dev->type still set to &mtd_devtype, so mtd_release() ->
release_mtd_partition() continues to work correctly for the regular
removal case. |
| Calling wordexp with WRDE_APPEND in the GNU C Library version 2.0 to version 2.43 can cause the interface to return invalid memory in the we_wordv member, which on subsequent calls to wordfree may abort the process. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix double-free of tx_buf skb
If ice_tso() or ice_tx_csum() fail, the error path in
ice_xmit_frame_ring() frees the skb, but the 'first' tx_buf still points
to it and is marked as valid (ICE_TX_BUF_SKB).
'next_to_use' remains unchanged, so the potential problem will
likely fix itself when the next packet is transmitted and the tx_buf
gets overwritten. But if there is no next packet and the interface is
brought down instead, ice_clean_tx_ring() -> ice_unmap_and_free_tx_buf()
will find the tx_buf and free the skb for the second time.
The fix is to reset the tx_buf type to ICE_TX_BUF_EMPTY in the error
path, so that ice_unmap_and_free_tx_buf().
Move the initialization of 'first' up, to ensure it's already valid in
case we hit the linearization error path.
The bug was spotted by AI while I had it looking for something else.
It also proposed an initial version of the patch.
I reproduced the bug and tested the fix by adding code to inject
failures, on a build with KASAN.
I looked for similar bugs in related Intel drivers and did not find any. |
