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. |

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

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tap: fix stack info leak in tap_ioctl() SIOCGIFHWADDR
In the SIOCGIFHWADDR path, tap_ioctl() copies 16 bytes of an
uninitialised on-stack struct sockaddr_storage to userspace via
ifr_hwaddr, but netif_get_mac_address() only writes sa_family and
dev->addr_len (6 for Ethernet) bytes, leaving sa_data[6..13] uninitialised.
Those 8 trailing bytes leak kernel stack contents; SIOCGIFHWADDR on a
macvtap chardev returns kernel .text and direct-map pointers, defeating
KASLR.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/uapi: Reject coh_none PAT index for CPU cached memory in madvise
Add validation in xe_vm_madvise_ioctl() to reject PAT indices with
XE_COH_NONE coherency mode when applied to CPU cached memory.
Using coh_none with CPU cached buffers is a security issue. When the
kernel clears pages before reallocation, the clear operation stays in
CPU cache (dirty). GPU with coh_none can bypass CPU caches and read
stale sensitive data directly from DRAM, potentially leaking data from
previously freed pages of other processes.
This aligns with the existing validation in vm_bind path
(xe_vm_bind_ioctl_validate_bo).

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
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:
vsock/virtio: fix empty payload in tap skb for non-linear buffers
For non-linear skbs, virtio_transport_build_skb() goes through
virtio_transport_copy_nonlinear_skb() to copy the original payload
in the new skb to be delivered to the vsockmon tap device.
This manually initializes an iov_iter but does not set iov_iter.count.
Since the iov_iter is zero-initialized, the copy length is zero and no
payload is actually copied to the monitor interface, leaving data
un-initialized.
Fix this by removing the linear vs non-linear split and using
skb_copy_datagram_iter() with iov_iter_kvec() for all cases, as
vhost-vsock already does. This handles both linear and non-linear skbs,
properly initializes the iov_iter, and removes the now unused
virtio_transport_copy_nonlinear_skb().
While touching this code, let's also check the return value of
skb_copy_datagram_iter(), even though it's unlikely to fail. |

pseries/papr-hvpipe: Prevent kernel stack memory leak to userspace
The hdr variable is allocated on the stack and only hdr.version and
hdr.flags are initialized explicitly. Because the struct papr_hvpipe_hdr
contains reserved padding bytes (reserved[3] and reserved2[40]), these
could leak the uninitialized bytes to userspace after copy_to_user().
This patch fixes that by initializing the whole struct to 0. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: usblp: fix heap leak in IEEE 1284 device ID via short response
usblp_ctrl_msg() collapses the usb_control_msg() return value to
0/-errno, discarding the actual number of bytes transferred. A broken
printer can complete the GET_DEVICE_ID control transfer short and the
driver has no way to know.
usblp_cache_device_id_string() reads the 2-byte big-endian length prefix
from the response and trusts it (clamped only to the buffer bounds).
The buffer is kmalloc(1024) at probe time. A device that sends exactly
two bytes (e.g. 0x03 0xFF, claiming a 1023-byte ID) leaves
device_id_string[2..1022] holding stale kmalloc heap.
That stale data is then exposed:
- via the ieee1284_id sysfs attribute (sprintf("%s", buf+2), truncated
at the first NUL in the stale heap), and
- via the IOCNR_GET_DEVICE_ID ioctl, which copy_to_user()s the full
claimed length regardless of NULs, up to 1021 bytes of uninitialized
heap, with the leak size chosen by the device.
Fix this up by just zapping the buffer with zeros before each request
sent to the device. |

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. |

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(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qrtr: ns: Free the node during ctrl_cmd_bye()
A node sends the BYE packet when it is about to go down. So the nameserver
should advertise the removal of the node to all remote and local observers
and free the node finally. But currently, the nameserver doesn't free the
node memory even after processing the BYE packet. This causes the node
memory to leak.
Hence, remove the node from Xarray list and free the node memory during
both success and failure case of ctrl_cmd_bye(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: core: Fix thermal zone governor cleanup issues
If thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips() fails after adding
a thermal governor to the thermal zone being registered, the
governor is not removed from it as appropriate which may lead to
a memory leak.
In turn, thermal_zone_device_unregister() calls thermal_set_governor()
without acquiring the thermal zone lock beforehand which may race with
a governor update via sysfs and may lead to a use-after-free in that
case.
Address these issues by adding two thermal_set_governor() calls, one to
thermal_release() to remove the governor from the given thermal zone,
and one to the thermal zone registration error path to cover failures
preceding the thermal zone device registration. |

rxrpc: Fix memory leaks in rxkad_verify_response()
Fix rxkad_verify_response() to free the ticket and the server key under all
circumstances by initialising the ticket pointer to NULL and then making
all paths through the function after the first allocation has been done go
through a single common epilogue that just releases everything - where all
the releases skip on a NULL pointer. |

xfs: fix a resource leak in xfs_alloc_buftarg()

device reference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/cio: Fix device lifecycle handling in css_alloc_subchannel()
`css_alloc_subchannel()` calls `device_initialize()` before setting up
the DMA masks. If `dma_set_coherent_mask()` or `dma_set_mask()` fails,
the error path frees the subchannel structure directly, bypassing
the device model reference counting.
Once `device_initialize()` has been called, the embedded struct device
must be released via `put_device()`, allowing the release callback to
free the container structure.
Fix the error path by dropping the initial device reference with
`put_device()` instead of calling `kfree()` directly.
This ensures correct device lifetime handling and avoids potential
use-after-free or double-free issues. |

drm/amdgpu: Fix memory leak in amdgpu_ras_init()
When amdgpu_nbio_ras_sw_init() fails in amdgpu_ras_init(), the function
returns directly without freeing the allocated con structure, leading
to a memory leak.
Fix this by jumping to the release_con label to properly clean up the
allocated memory before returning the error code.

SUNRPC: fix gss_auth kref leak in gss_alloc_msg error path
Commit 5940d1cf9f42 ("SUNRPC: Rebalance a kref in auth_gss.c") added
a kref_get(&gss_auth->kref) call to balance the gss_put_auth() done
in gss_release_msg(), but forgot to add a corresponding kref_put()
on the error path when kstrdup_const() fails.
If service_name is non-NULL and kstrdup_const() fails, the function
jumps to err_put_pipe_version which calls put_pipe_version() and
kfree(gss_msg), but never releases the gss_auth reference. This leads
to a kref leak where the gss_auth structure is never freed.
Add a forward declaration for gss_free_callback() and call kref_put()
in the err_put_pipe_version error path to properly release the
reference taken earlier. |

gfs2: fix memory leaks in gfs2_fill_super error path
Fix two memory leaks in the gfs2_fill_super() error handling path when
transitioning a filesystem to read-write mode fails.
First leak: kthread objects (thread_struct, task_struct, etc.)
When gfs2_freeze_lock_shared() fails after init_threads() succeeds, the
created kernel threads (logd and quotad) are never destroyed. This
occurs because the fail_per_node label doesn't call
gfs2_destroy_threads().
Second leak: quota bitmap buffer (8192 bytes)
When gfs2_make_fs_rw() fails after gfs2_quota_init() succeeds but
before other operations complete, the allocated quota bitmap is never
freed.
The fix moves thread cleanup to the fail_per_node label to handle all
error paths uniformly. gfs2_destroy_threads() is safe to call
unconditionally as it checks for NULL pointers. Quota cleanup is added
in gfs2_make_fs_rw() to properly handle the withdrawal case where
quota initialization succeeds but the filesystem is then withdrawn.
