2024-10-21 CVE-2024-49870 Memory Leak vulnerability in Linux Kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cachefiles: fix dentry leak in cachefiles_open_file() A dentry leak may be caused when a lookup cookie and a cull are concurrent: P1 | P2 ----------------------------------------------------------- cachefiles_lookup_cookie cachefiles_look_up_object lookup_one_positive_unlocked // get dentry cachefiles_cull inode->i_flags |= S_KERNEL_FILE; cachefiles_open_file cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use __cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use can_use = false if (!(inode->i_flags & S_KERNEL_FILE)) can_use = true return false return false // Returns an error but doesn't put dentry After that the following WARNING will be triggered when the backend folder is umounted: ================================================================== BUG: Dentry 000000008ad87947{i=7a,n=Dx_1_1.img} still in use (1) [unmount of ext4 sda] WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 359261 at fs/dcache.c:1767 umount_check+0x5d/0x70 CPU: 4 PID: 359261 Comm: umount Not tainted 6.6.0-dirty #25 RIP: 0010:umount_check+0x5d/0x70 Call Trace: <TASK> d_walk+0xda/0x2b0 do_one_tree+0x20/0x40 shrink_dcache_for_umount+0x2c/0x90 generic_shutdown_super+0x20/0x160 kill_block_super+0x1a/0x40 ext4_kill_sb+0x22/0x40 deactivate_locked_super+0x35/0x80 cleanup_mnt+0x104/0x160 ================================================================== Whether cachefiles_open_file() returns true or false, the reference count obtained by lookup_positive_unlocked() in cachefiles_look_up_object() should be released. Therefore release that reference count in cachefiles_look_up_object() to fix the above issue and simplify the code.

2024-10-21 CVE-2024-47677 Memory Leak vulnerability in Linux Kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: exfat: resolve memory leak from exfat_create_upcase_table() If exfat_load_upcase_table reaches end and returns -EINVAL, allocated memory doesn't get freed and while exfat_load_default_upcase_table allocates more memory, leading to a memory leak.
