| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: Fix function prototype mismatch for ext4_feat_ktype
With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG),
indirect call targets are validated against the expected function
pointer prototype to make sure the call target is valid to help mitigate
ROP attacks. If they are not identical, there is a failure at run time,
which manifests as either a kernel panic or thread getting killed.
ext4_feat_ktype was setting the "release" handler to "kfree", which
doesn't have a matching function prototype. Add a simple wrapper
with the correct prototype.
This was found as a result of Clang's new -Wcast-function-type-strict
flag, which is more sensitive than the simpler -Wcast-function-type,
which only checks for type width mismatches.
Note that this code is only reached when ext4 is a loadable module and
it is being unloaded:
CFI failure at kobject_put+0xbb/0x1b0 (target: kfree+0x0/0x180; expected type: 0x7c4aa698)
...

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix memleak due to fentry attach failure
If it fails to attach fentry, the allocated bpf trampoline image will be
left in the system. That can be verified by checking /proc/kallsyms.
This meamleak can be verified by a simple bpf program as follows:
SEC("fentry/trap_init")
int fentry_run()
{
return 0;
}
It will fail to attach trap_init because this function is freed after
kernel init, and then we can find the trampoline image is left in the
system by checking /proc/kallsyms.
$ tail /proc/kallsyms
ffffffffc0613000 t bpf_trampoline_6442453466_1 [bpf]
ffffffffc06c3000 t bpf_trampoline_6442453466_1 [bpf]
$ bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux | grep "FUNC 'trap_init'"
[2522] FUNC 'trap_init' type_id=119 linkage=static
$ echo $((6442453466 & 0x7fffffff))
2522
Note that there are two left bpf trampoline images, that is because the
libbpf will fallback to raw tracepoint if -EINVAL is returned. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: location: Free struct acpi_pld_info *pld before return false
struct acpi_pld_info *pld should be freed before the return of allocation
failure, to prevent memory leak, add the ACPI_FREE() to fix it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7921: resource leaks at mt7921_check_offload_capability()
Fixed coverity issue with resource leaks at variable "fw" going out of
scope leaks the storage it points to mt7921_check_offload_capability().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: hisilicon/hpre - fix resource leak in remove process
In hpre_remove(), when the disable operation of qm sriov failed,
the following logic should continue to be executed to release the
remaining resources that have been allocated, instead of returning
directly, otherwise there will be resource leakage. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
atm: clip: Fix memory leak of struct clip_vcc.
ioctl(ATMARP_MKIP) allocates struct clip_vcc and set it to
vcc->user_back.
The code assumes that vcc_destroy_socket() passes NULL skb
to vcc->push() when the socket is close()d, and then clip_push()
frees clip_vcc.
However, ioctl(ATMARPD_CTRL) sets NULL to vcc->push() in
atm_init_atmarp(), resulting in memory leak.
Let's serialise two ioctl() by lock_sock() and check vcc->push()
in atm_init_atmarp() to prevent memleak. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: fbtft: fix potential memory leak in fbtft_framebuffer_alloc()
In the error paths after fb_info structure is successfully allocated,
the memory allocated in fb_deferred_io_init() for info->pagerefs is not
freed. Fix that by adding the cleanup function on the error path. |
| A memory leak flaw was found in ruby-magick, an interface between Ruby and ImageMagick. This issue can lead to a denial of service (DOS) by memory exhaustion. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/sclp: Prevent release of buffer in I/O
When a task waiting for completion of a Store Data operation is
interrupted, an attempt is made to halt this operation. If this attempt
fails due to a hardware or firmware problem, there is a chance that the
SCLP facility might store data into buffers referenced by the original
operation at a later time.
Handle this situation by not releasing the referenced data buffers if
the halt attempt fails. For current use cases, this might result in a
leak of few pages of memory in case of a rare hardware/firmware
malfunction. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: qgroup: fix quota root leak after quota disable failure
If during the quota disable we fail when cleaning the quota tree or when
deleting the root from the root tree, we jump to the 'out' label without
ever dropping the reference on the quota root, resulting in a leak of the
root since fs_info->quota_root is no longer pointing to the root (we have
set it to NULL just before those steps).
Fix this by always doing a btrfs_put_root() call under the 'out' label.
This is a problem that exists since qgroups were first added in 2012 by
commit bed92eae26cc ("Btrfs: qgroup implementation and prototypes"), but
back then we missed a kfree on the quota root and free_extent_buffer()
calls on its root and commit root nodes, since back then roots were not
yet reference counted. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4: Fix memory leak in nfs4_set_security_label
We leak nfs_fattr and nfs4_label every time we set a security xattr. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/exynos/vidi: fix memory leak in .get_modes()
The duplicated EDID is never freed. Fix it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: uhci: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic
at once. |

cifs: fix potential memory leaks in session setup
Make sure to free cifs_ses::auth_key.response before allocating it as
we might end up leaking memory in reconnect or mounting. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: imon: fix access to invalid resource for the second interface
imon driver probes two USB interfaces, and at the probe of the second
interface, the driver assumes blindly that the first interface got
bound with the same imon driver. It's usually true, but it's still
possible that the first interface is bound with another driver via a
malformed descriptor. Then it may lead to a memory corruption, as
spotted by syzkaller; imon driver accesses the data from drvdata as
struct imon_context object although it's a completely different one
that was assigned by another driver.
This patch adds a sanity check -- whether the first interface is
really bound with the imon driver or not -- for avoiding the problem
above at the probe time. |

ACPICA: fix acpi operand cache leak in dswstate.c
ACPICA commit 987a3b5cf7175916e2a4b6ea5b8e70f830dfe732
I found an ACPI cache leak in ACPI early termination and boot continuing case.
When early termination occurs due to malicious ACPI table, Linux kernel
terminates ACPI function and continues to boot process. While kernel terminates
ACPI function, kmem_cache_destroy() reports Acpi-Operand cache leak.
Boot log of ACPI operand cache leak is as follows:

I analyzed this memory leak in detail and found acpi_ds_obj_stack_pop_and_
delete() function miscalculated the top of the stack. acpi_ds_obj_stack_push()
function uses walk_state->operand_index for start position of the top, but
acpi_ds_obj_stack_pop_and_delete() function considers index 0 for it.
Therefore, this causes acpi operand memory leak.
This cache leak causes a security threat because an old kernel (<= 4.9) shows
memory locations of kernel functions in stack dump. Some malicious users
could use this information to neutralize kernel ASLR.
I made a patch to fix ACPI operand cache leak. |

ACPICA: fix acpi parse and parseext cache leaks
ACPICA commit 8829e70e1360c81e7a5a901b5d4f48330e021ea5
I'm Seunghun Han, and I work for National Security Research Institute of
South Korea.
I have been doing a research on ACPI and found an ACPI cache leak in ACPI
early abort cases.

I analyzed this memory leak in detail. I found that “Acpi-State” cache and
“Acpi-Parse” cache were merged because the size of cache objects was same
slab cache size.
I finally found “Acpi-Parse” cache and “Acpi-parse_ext” cache were leaked
using SLAB_NEVER_MERGE flag in kmem_cache_create() function.
