|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-10-21 | CVE-2022-49016 | Memory Leak vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mdiobus: fix unbalanced node reference count I got the following report while doing device(mscc-miim) load test with CONFIG_OF_UNITTEST and CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC enabled: OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2, of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry: attach overlay node /spi/soc@0/mdio@7107009c/ethernet-phy@0 If the 'fwnode' is not an acpi node, the refcount is get in fwnode_mdiobus_phy_device_register(), but it has never been put when the device is freed in the normal path. | 5.5 |
| 2024-10-21 | CVE-2022-49020 | Memory Leak vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/9p: Fix a potential socket leak in p9_socket_open Both p9_fd_create_tcp() and p9_fd_create_unix() will call p9_socket_open(). | 5.5 |
| 2024-10-21 | CVE-2022-49024 | Memory Leak vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: m_can: pci: add missing m_can_class_free_dev() in probe/remove methods In m_can_pci_remove() and error handling path of m_can_pci_probe(), m_can_class_free_dev() should be called to free resource allocated by m_can_class_allocate_dev(), otherwise there will be memleak. | 5.5 |
| 2024-10-21 | CVE-2024-50041 | Memory Leak vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i40e: Fix macvlan leak by synchronizing access to mac_filter_hash This patch addresses a macvlan leak issue in the i40e driver caused by concurrent access to vsi->mac_filter_hash. | 5.5 |
| 2024-10-21 | CVE-2024-50064 | Memory Leak vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: zram: free secondary algorithms names We need to kfree() secondary algorithms names when reset zram device that had multi-streams, otherwise we leak memory. [[email protected]: kfree(NULL) is legal] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] | 5.5 |
| 2024-10-21 | CVE-2024-50013 | Memory Leak vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: exfat: fix memory leak in exfat_load_bitmap() If the first directory entry in the root directory is not a bitmap directory entry, 'bh' will not be released and reassigned, which will cause a memory leak. | 5.5 |
| 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. | 5.5 |
| 2024-10-21 | CVE-2024-49975 | Memory Leak vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: uprobes: fix kernel info leak via "[uprobes]" vma xol_add_vma() maps the uninitialized page allocated by __create_xol_area() into userspace. | 5.5 |
| 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.
