In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/hfi1: Fix leak of rcvhdrtail_dummy_kvaddr
This buffer is currently allocated in hfi1_init():
if (reinit)
ret = init_after_reset(dd);
else
ret = loadtime_init(dd);
if (ret)
goto done;
/* allocate dummy tail memory for all receive contexts */
dd->rcvhdrtail_dummy_kvaddr = dma_alloc_coherent(&dd->pcidev->dev,
sizeof(u64),
&dd->rcvhdrtail_dummy_dma,
GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dd->rcvhdrtail_dummy_kvaddr) {
dd_dev_err(dd, "cannot allocate dummy tail memory\n");
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto done;
}
The reinit triggered path will overwrite the old allocation and leak it.
Fix by moving the allocation to hfi1_alloc_devdata() and the deallocation
to hfi1_free_devdata().Verknüpft mit AI von unstrukturierten Daten zu bestehenden CPE der NVD

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
